My name is Skye. I’m a senior at Bryn Mawr majoring in Linguistics and minoring in French and Russian.

I wanted to take this course because it seems like a refreshing difference from my other classes and I like the interdisciplinary approach to science. I have taken a few psychology courses that piqued my interest in cognition and neurobiology, but my strongest background is in linguistics, a unique perspective I can bring to the class.

Here are a few things that interest me: sex differences in the brain; biological explanations of sexuality; animals and language; cultural differences in cognition; synesthesia; alien encounters; near-death experiences; evolutionarily inherited predispositions among humans.
