Third day at Stanford is extremely exciting with new lessons
which open up our world. Today’s lessons are Neuroscience and Blogging.
Neuroscience is basically everything about the brain, from
the basic five senses of the body to mental illness, we learnt about the
different parts of the brain and the way to test and experiment using both
invasive and non-invasive ways to study the brain. The brain is filled with
neurons which can transmit messages from one end to another, it is hard to imagine
our whole body and our mind are all depending on such small cells and it is
literally mind-blowing. The history of Neuroscience is relatively short as it
is a ‘young’ field and it did not appear before any microscope was invented,
the invention of different experiment apparatus and instrument is crucial to
the development of the field of neuroscience.
Neuroscience is a relatively “young” field but its importance cannot be
ignored, as modern technology advanced, the more we understand the brain, and the
more we can understand ourselves as human being.
This lesson changes our view on neuroscience; it is a
perfect mix between biology, chemistry and psychology. It shows an aspect of a
human being through the way we act and how we can approach the most delicate
and sacred part of a human – the brain. It is such a fascinating lesson and it
can truly provide us an overall view of neuroscience.
The other lesson is about blogging, the lesson contains two
parts. The first part is about the history and the different form of media in
the art of blogging and communication and the second part is about the tools of
blogging and the way to use it. Firstly, we introduced ourselves by talking
about our favorite stories and the reason behind it, through this simple activity,
we learnt more about our friends from this form of communication. The history
of communication and media is amusing as the way of communication is changing
through all eras to fit the speed and demand of communication, such as the
first form of communicating by cave paintings. Secondly, the usage of the tools
of blogging helps us to be more professional and to be clearer in presenting
our ideas and our journey in Stanford University. There are two websites which
really engage and help us to connect to the art of blogging, they are Canvas
and Wordpress. Both of these websites can provide us an easier way to blog and
connect with others.
In conclusion, today is a great day that we really learnt a
lot more about what we can’t learn from school including knowledge that gained
from the neuroscience which haven’t been learn in our biology lesson and
different blogging tools which is relatively new to us. When talking about the history in the second
lesson, it is surprising that we can
linkup the content we learn on the first lesson that human brain was really
amazing as human already know how to communicate in an early stage. We enjoy a
lot and we are looking forward the next day.
