Brain Chemistry is both fascinating and frightening. Human behavior as reported on the nightly news drives us to invest in security systems. We can’t imagine how a person can torture a child for his own pleasure but his brain accommodates that act. We must learn more about the brain so as to prevent the horrific and/or ease the pain. As a scientist with a lab full of human subjects; I hope and pray that none there are or will become those reported on the news. Brain behavior is fascinating. I observe so MUCH each day and try to make sense of it all. I conduct experiments on a constant basis. I observe when students are trying to logically reason through a problem and analyze the variables that either help or hinder. I endeavor to note that information. I observe when I speak a certain way it has a dramatic effect on some and none on others. I am driven t explore and find out more. I record my observations and find that each class takes on a unique character and may respond very differently to the same stimulus. I am ecstatic when a pattern emerges and my practice becomes my life.
