... I am curious about the differences between genders as it relates to learning and processing in the brain and what behaviors may be manifested

This is me.....

I teach Biology in Olney High (705) School. I've been teaching here since 1997 and I don't regret any part of my experience so far.

I'm unique in the sense that I'm genetically "wired" different from everybody else in the program. This will enable me to bring contributions and ideas exclusively different from everybody else's.

I'm a scientist because I'm always inquisitive about what's going on in my environment and concerned about how to make life better for people I meet or cross my path.

Babatunde.
