Pink Brain, Blue Brain: A Fascinating Look At Gender Differences

Inborn or learned? Genetic or socially-meditated? Neuroscientist Dr. Lise Eliot delivers a fascinating look into gender differences and how they are created. The focus of this discussion is her book, Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow Into Troublesome Gaps-And What We Can Do About It. Dr Eliot is Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science. A graduate of Harvard, she received her PhD in Cellular Physiology & Biophysics at Columbia University and completed a post-doctoral research fellowship in Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine before turning to public education about brain and gender development. She has published over 60 works including the books, What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life and Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Can Grow Into Troublesome Gaps- And What We Can Do About It. The latter book will be available for purchase at this meeting.
