   Great Conversations - Mays Imad

   Mays Imad, associate professor of biology and director of the neuroscience program at Connecticut College, joins Michael Morrone for a thoughtful discussion on the neuroscience of learning, the role of connection and belonging in education, and how educators can create learning environments that foster curiosity, wonder, and hope. Drawing from neuroscience, philosophy, storytelling, and her own teaching experiences, Imad explores how relationships, meaning-making, and the “space between us” can transform learning for both students and educators.
