Dr. Fischer's website.

Dr. Fischer's interests are in human development and his work focuses on the dynamic organization of behavior and the way it changes, especially cognitive development, social behavior, emotions and brain bases. Most recently, Dr. Fischer has developed the Mind, Brain and Education program at Harvard and founded the International Society for Mind, Brain and Education, which bring together educators and researchers in biological sciences, cognitive science and education. He hopes to create a strong research foundation for educational practice and policy -- a foundation that is informed by input from educators and includes the roles of the brain and genetics in learning.

Please join us for refreshments and conversation after Dr. Fischer's talk.
