Completed a 3-day workshop on Teaching at MIT

Selected for the Kaufman Teaching Certificate Program at MIT
I will be taking part in MIT’s Kaufman Teaching Certificate Program in Fall 2025. The program will provide advanced training in evidence-based instructional practices, course and lesson design, inclusive teaching strategies, active learning methods, and assessment techniques. Completion of this program will equip me with the skills and preparation necessary for excellence in university-level teaching. The link of the program is here.

Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s ‘white matter’
MIT scientists report that gamma frequency light and sound stimulation preserves myelination in mouse models and reveal molecular mechanisms that may underlie the benefit. Early-stage trials in Alzheimer’s disease patients and studies in mouse models of the disease have suggested positive impacts on pathology and symptoms from exposure to light and sound presented at the “gamma” band …
