Education


Education can be provided as training, seminars, or presentations for a variety of groups, services, and events. Topics are welcome from either the neuroscience or clinical psychology side of neuremind, though of course something from both is where Jesse is most passionate.

Jesse has received commendations and awards for his ability to communicate theory and practice in clinical psychology and neuroscience. His approach to education in these fields holds consideration of a crucial trade-off: too much detailed accuracy and it’s hard to take much in, but too much simplified watering down and there’s not much actually in it. 

Working with this trade-off, he aims to translate complex information into something more accessible, relevant, and useful without too much loss of accuracy. His honing of this approach has benefited greatly through engaging with various audiences of scientists, students, clinicians, and patients over his career as a scientist-practitioner.
