Fischer Helps Create Videos on Learning and the Brain
"Professor Kurt Fischer worked with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to create 42 brief videos on learning, teaching, and the brain. Featured in several, Fischer is joined by HGSE alumni and other notable scientists in the videos, which range in topics from the history of neuroscience to personal accounts of autism.
“We had an opportunity to work with a dozen media specialists to create the videos and the result is [a set] really useful tools for high school and college courses on the brain,” Fischer says.
Fischer and a group of other educational neuroscientists spent a year working with the Science Media Group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Brain and Creativity Institute and Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California on the project."
