Hi, my name is Dana, and I study the brain.
Though no longer technically a student, I am still learning every day about our amazing mass of billions of neurons — now as a freelance science writer with a newly minted PhD in Psychology from the University of Cambridge.
Here, I write about the fascinating things I discover along the way about our brains, bodies, and how it all connects.
