Teaching

The Emory-Tibetan Science Initiative

The photo above was taken at the Sera Mey Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in India. For the past four summers, I’ve worked with fellow neuroscience faculty on the Emory-Tibetan Science Initiative (ETSI). I enjoy teaching Buddhist monks about neuroscience concepts that are intriguing to them, including processing and perception of sensory information, memory, emotion, and consciousness. Monastic students learn about brain and neuronal connectivity by modeling and group discussions.
