Autorenporträt

Dr. Judy Willis, MD, MEd, is a board-certified neurologist who combined her 15 years as a practicing neurologist with 10 subsequent years as a classroom teacher to become a leading authority in the neuroscience of learning. With her unique background in both neuroscience and education, she has written 9 books and more than 200 articles about applying neuroscience research to classroom teaching strategies. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa as one of the first seven woman to graduate from Williams College, Willis attended UCLA School of Medicine, where she was awarded her medical degree. She remained at UCLA and completed a medical residency and neurology residency, including chief residency. She practiced neurology for 15 years before returning to university to obtain her teaching credential and master's degree in education from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She then taught in elementary and middle school for 10 years. Willis participates as an adjunct professor at Williams College. She also travels nationally and internationally to give presentations and workshops and consult about learning and the brain.
