My copies of #InsideYourBrain have arrived & they're SO gorgeous I gave in and did a video πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

It's out THIS THURSDAY and is a lighthearted (or light-brained? πŸ€”) gallop through the history of neuroscience co-authored with Professor @caswell.bsky.social & illustrated by MarΓ­a JesΓΊs Contreras 🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

Two weeks today!

#InsideYourBrain is a comedic romp through brain science history: lighthearted & a bit gross but properly in-depth!

Hand holding a book up against a plain white wall. The book is called "Inside Your Brain: and the cover shows a brown hand pointing at a brain which has images of people, a sandwich, dolphins, a banana, a troll toy, a frog, and a dragonfly against different coloured segments of the brain.

Just finished reading "Inside Your Brain" by the brilliant @lucyannunwin.bsky.social - that rare sort of children's book that manages to be informative and *fun* to read. A great introduction to the history of brain science for children.
