In this episode of Sciographies, we chat with Dr. Leanne Stevens (MSc'09, PhD'13), educator, university teaching fellow in Dalhousie's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Associate Dean, Academic in the Faculty of Science.

 

Dr. Stevens shares her journey from growing up in Springhill, Nova Scotia, to becoming a leader in science education. She also reflects on the moment she discovered her passion for neuroscience, the role mentorship played in shaping her path, and how her experiences as a student led her toward teaching and leadership.

 

She also discusses how experiential learning and science communication are transforming the student experience and offers advice for those navigating their own path in science.
