intro…101 is an information-rich resource delivered in graduate student assistant (GA) format. Kris is your GA and holds an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health and is currently a doctoral student in clinical psychology. Her goal is to assist you in navigating some of the related science you interact with on a daily basis, the way a graduate assistant would help you navigate introductory level information in your courses. This first series will tackle the basics of body physiology at the ionic, molecular, and cellular levels, as well as nervous system physiology and biology that underlies the abundance of health and wellness information available online, so that you can have a more enriched experience engaging with your favorite scientific educators and health and wellness experts and influencers.
Support STEM Education Organizations
We at intro…101 believe wholeheartedly that science is for everybody. To ensure everybody, (who wishes to) has an opportunity to study and do research in STEM fields please support any or all of the following STEM education organizations or others of your choosing. This is by no means an exhaustive list and I have no relationship with these organizations, I’m just a fan of the work they’re doing and I hope that you will be too.
