Five ways your brain is screwing you over
Dr Diane Harner
(Managing Director, CleverMinds Consulting)
Everything we think, feel, say and do is orchestrated by our brain. Your brain is what allows you to do all of the wonderfully human things you do. However, though our brains may have the best intentions, they do sometimes make life difficult.
Dr Harner is a unique mix of neuroscientist, businesswoman and counsellor. We specialise in helping people understand human behaviour so they can be more self-aware and deliberate in their thinking and behaviour, and improve their interpersonal effectiveness.

Hiking the brain epigenetic landscape
Ms Marta Nabais
(PhD Candidate, Institute for Molecular Bioscience)

Marta Nabais completed a BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Lisbon and was awarded a scholarship for a Masters in Neuroscience-Neurasmus. In 2017 she accepted a joint PhD scholarship between the University of Queensland and the University of Exeter (QUEX).
