I’m a neuroscientist, get me out of here!

Posted on April 27, 2015 by admin

Members of the CEN have been taking part in an event organised by the Wellcome Trust to allow teachers and the public to ask neuroscientists about education related questions.

See here for the enthusiastic debates that have been raging (I’m a scientist, get me out of here!) and here for recent coverage of the event in the Guardian.
