I just finished listening to the last talk while riding my bike along the foreshore and rushed straight home to download the slide images and to share this here little blog post with you. Martin eloquently and skillfully delves into the latest Neuroscience research to address really important questions about education and personal development. He presents evidence that align strongly with my own (refreshingly fact-free) feelings about changes that are occurring in my brain as I move out of my area of expertise into new territory.

If any of these statements interest you, make sure you download, listen and learn!

• How school/work robs us of creativity
• Neuroscientific myth-busters spoiling the fun of learning styles and left-right brain bias
