About Us

The Neuroscience Academy is a 10-week online professional development program designed to bring neuroscience and evidence-based brain health research to a global audience.

Created by Oxford University-educated neuroscientist, TEDx speaker, and author of ‘The Women's Brain Book’, Dr Sarah McKay.

Too often neuroscience research is hidden behind the pay-wall of academic journals, presented at scientific meetings for other scientists, or presented in a way that is irrelevant to our daily lives.

This is ok, if you're a scientist. 

Sometimes, the opposite is true — people with no training in brain science and little understanding of the complexities of research are jumping on the neuroscience bandwagon as ‘brain gurus’ and marketing the latest product or magic-bullet solution based on inaccurate, outdated, or even mythical neuroscience.

This is not ok, and makes scientists such as me very cranky.

I created The Neuroscience Academy so professionals can discover, understand and implement evidence-based neuroscience strategies into their life and work. 

Yes, I err on the side of science, but with a good dose of warmth and humility.
