I am guest posting for myself!

By night I am a blogger,  but by day I'm something completely different. I am a behavioral neuroscientist. This means that basically I research how the brain interacts with our environment, and how our environment may impact our brain and behavior.

(You can read about my career path and choices here and here)

Specifically I am interested in the toxic AND beneficial aspects of stress (yes believe it or not some forms of stress are actually good for you!) As a professor at my university we have to post on the schools blog twice a semester, so I'm guest posting for myself today! Head on over to hear me briefly chat like a nerd! Just as a common courtesy reminder: the blog I am referring you to is conducted through my professional institution; please keep your comments professional.  If you would like to bash me, please do so here :-) Happy Monday folks!
