Professor and Canada Research Chair Dr. Daniel Ansari in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning on ”The Future of Educational Neuroscience”

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, EPISODE #138 with Dr. Daniel Ansari<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a>, a professor and Canada Research Chair<a href='#_edn2'>[ii]</a> in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in the Department of Psychology and the Brain in Mind Institute<a href='#_edn3'>[iii]</a> at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario where he heads the Numerical Cognition Laboratory.<a href='#_edn4'>[iv]</a> His name is well-known in the field of educational neuroscience with a focus on numeracy and math which I know our listeners will find fascinating as we make connections with how children acquire math and numeracy, with brain science in mind.</p> <p><a href='https://youtu.be/Yr78S607LhE'>You can watch the interview on YouTube here. </a></p> <p>I'm Andrea Samadi, an educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain.</p> <p>Our goal with this podcast is to bring the most current neuroscience research to you and make it applicable in your life whether you are a teacher in the classroom or using these ideas to improve productivity and results in your workplace. As I am researching and learning new ideas, I’m also implementing them myself, and making connections to past speakers, so that we can all benefit from the research that is emerging in this new field of educational neuroscience.</p> <p>Which brings me to our next guest, who I came across a few months ago while researching neuroscientists who specialize in the field of education. Dr. Daniel Ansari’s name came up as a speaker at the Dropping Out, What Neuroscience Can Teach Us<a href='#_edn5'>[v]</a> International Symposium on th
