How to Become a NeuroNerd Siddhi Shah

Calling all budding neuroscientists... Join us as we embark on a journey through your mystical brain. Along this journey, you will defeat many neuromyths with the power of science. You will get an exclusive view into the very headquarters of your own body. You will learn about the cells that make up the brain, each of your five senses, and disorders that afflict the brain. So pick up the book, and start reading! What are you waiting for? This book was written by two ambitious high-school students looking to engage kids in the world of neuroscience after being drawn into it themselves. We designed this to address a gap we noticed: a kid-friendly resource about the mysteries of the brain. We started by teaching neuroscience at elementary schools, public libraries, and online. We translated this experience into this book that will open the doors for many more.
