Meet the Keynotes: Mary Helen Immordino-Yang

If you’re as excited for our November conference as I am, you might want to know more about our speakers.

Mary Helen Immordino-Yang is an affective neuroscientist and an educational psychologist.

That means: she studies how “children’s emotional and social relationships shape their LEARING, and also shape the BRAIN DEVELOPMENT that undergirds their learning.”

Yes: her work is that interesting.

If you want to learn more about Rebuilding SEL Skills in the Age of COVID-19, we hope you’ll join us, and Dr. Immordino-Yang.
