TDLC researchers teach science through making music, and receive continued support from the National Science Foundation
If you live in San Diego and you noticed a surge in metalophonic sounds in your neighborhood, this might be the reason: As part of TDLC's commitment to bring high quality science education to the community, cognitive scientists Victor Minces and Alexander Khalil have been working with K-12 schools to teach science through the science of music. In this program, called Listening to Waves, the students actively learn the science of waves and perception as they create electronic music and build musical instruments.

 TDLC's Dr. Iversen involved in NIH/Kennedy Center Music and Health Initiative Workshop
Dr. Iversen was one of three speakers at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) workshop held on January 26-27, 2017. He spoke about music and child development. The purpose of the workshop was to help guide the direction of a new partnership between the NIH and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to expand on an initiative that NIH has had with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) called Sound Health. Click here to view a video of the event! Dr. Iversen was also recent interviewed on Voice of La Jolla!
Face Camp: A chance for children to explore the science of face recognition
 Researchers at the University of Victoria have developed an innovative model in STEM education blending scientific research with scientific outreach. At their annual summer Face Camp, children are introduced to the psychology and neuroscience of face recognition. Conducted at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, and organized by TDLC's Dr. Jim Tanaka, Face Camp is a free, one day workshop where typically developing and special needs children learn about the "science, art, and fun" of human face recognition.
