My absolute guilty pleasure is watching game shows of all kind. But lately, I've become sick of just *watching* them. I've devised my own game show for you all to play. There'll be teams, there'll be challenges, and there may even be prizes. Whatever your thing is - solving puzzles, thinking outside the box, competitive drive, come on down and put your skills to the test! Featuring challenges from Only Connect, Chain Reaction, and more!

"Multiple personalities," hearing color, surviving a rod being blasted through your brain, and more - welcome to an exploration of neuroscience and abnormal psychology through the things that go wrong. Please be sure to bring any questions you may have relating to psychiatric and neurological disorder - this will be a larger lecture but I'll try to answer questions via email after!

AKA: Neuropsychopharmacology We're going to learn the basics of neuropsychopharmacology and cover a variety of topics relating to both illicit and prescription drugs, such as: Their effects on behavior, their action in the brain, and even the societal implications of drug use. Come prepared to learn about a topic you may have only been taught in DARE from a neuroscientist's perspective!

Circadian rhythms - everyone has one, right? Turns out that some people have rhythms that make them nocturnal (hi), while some people have rhythms that better suit them for life on Mars. This class is for anyone who HATES waking up early, anyone who's ever felt like they got run over by a bus after an international flight, or anyone who is interested in why exactly the number "24" isn't just a construct but is woven into our DNA. We'll definitely be getting into some neuroscience and genetics here, but we're also gonna talk about what it's like to live in a cave and whether that sleeping cure your Grandma tells you "works every time" is real or not.

My absolute guilty pleasure is watching game shows of all kind. Chain Reaction got rebooted? I'm on it. I've probably seen every episode of Cutthroat Kitchen twice. And don't even get me started when the Big Brother live feeds turn on. But I'm sick of just watching game shows - - which is why I've created my own for you all to play. There'll be teams, there'll be challenges, and there may even be prizes. Whatever your thing is - solving puzzles, thinking outside the box, competitive drive, cooperation (or manipulation... what?)... Game on.
