Another exciting day! The day started with a Neuroscience lesson
conducted by Dr. Maral Tajerian. What a
fab teacher - funny, friendly and simply very smart! Her lessons were so
inspiring and interesting that some of us now want to pursue this field of
science. By volunteering to imitate how a neuron transmits information, we
learnt more about the workings of neurons and their importance. Learning about the development of neuroscience
in the past 200 years was quite fascinating.
After the lecture, Dr. Tajerian also shared with us her research on the
composition of brain other than cells.
Her study of a net-shaped structure in the brain was quite gripping. We literally jumped from our seats in total
excitement when she showed us a test tube containing a translucent mouse brain. We hope that she can receive government
funding to continue her brain research and go on to win the Nobel Prize in the
future!
After a scrumptious lunch, we
started our lesson on ‘Blogging Our Journey’.
Our instructor, Professor Nada Milijkovic, taught us various skills and
techniques in writing and designing blogs.
She also gave a brief introduction on the history of story-telling. After this lesson, we feel we can make our
blogging story interesting and cannot wait to update our blog every day to
inform our parents about our fantastic life at Stanford!
Our exciting day came to a close
with a henna session after dinner. This
fun henna application process reminded
us of the poem, The Unknown Girl, which we had analyzed at school in our
English lesson. Seeing the lovely henna
on our hands, we are now reluctant to wash our hands!!
