Hello to all of you, my name is Emily and I am a senior at Bryn Mawr. I am double-majoring in Biology and Anthropology; I have plans to attend medical school in the future, so I have followed the pre-med course track, as well. 

My interests for this class lie in the realm of connecting cultural and social aspects to behavior and brain response. This even includes how the brain is shaped from an early age, how one learns social norms/taboos, and how exploring these topics play into education in a formal sense. It is very important to me to examine human interaction and isn't it amazing that much of education requires this? What other systems of the body could be involved in this interplay? How much of education is conscious? Do we learn more from watching or from doing? These are just some of the areas I wish to explore.

I love the non-traditional approach to sciences, so I am thrilled to take part in this class with all of you.
