"Brain Rules" with Dr. John Medina

Gateway School, Cabrillo College  and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education bring renowned developmental molecular biologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. John Medina to Santa Cruz for a free presentation.

How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

Find out all this and more during Dr. Medina’s special presentation of Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School, Thursday, March 3rd at 7:30 pm at Cabrillo College. To register for the waiting list of this sold-out event, contact brainrules@gatewaysc.org
