How did the book club help you build your brain health expertise?
Throughout this project each group chose a book they wanted to read related to their topic. My group decided to read was, The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life by Joseph Ledoux. Book Summary: LeDoux is a neuroscientist with the Center for Neural Science at New York University. Through this book he dives into the history of neuroscience, including experiments from various past scientists such as, William James (pg. 79), Edouard Claparede (pg. 180) and many more. He also mentions developing technology and gives many examples in order to give the reader a complete understanding. Through this book he explores the complexities of strong emotions such as fear, anger and joy with a goal of thoroughly explaining the hormones and chemicals that mainly control these emotions. |

After the NAMI walk exhibition, what are you most proud of?
After the NAMI walk I am most proud of all the different strangers I was able to talk to about my topic and why it matters. I was also very happy to see how genuinely surprised all the people I talked to were about what we were doing for our community. It was nice to be able to spread what I learned to new people and advocate for my topic. Something I will take into future work would be to just dive into new challenges head first, when I began this project I was really lost with our group since it overlapped so much with the depression topic so it was nice to slowly develop our topic until it was completely different and unique. We also found our pace after a while and worked very naturally without any major issues so I definitely plan to try to implement that into any other groups I have in the future. |
