NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCHER & AUTHOR
Dr Mike Tranter A neuroscientist from the UK now living in California, hoping to make neuroscience engaging and accessible to everyone. After earning my BSc, MSc, and PhD, I dedicated my work to uncovering the mysteries of the brain. A few years ago, I wrote my first book, A Million Things To Ask A Neuroscientist - The Brain Made Easy, to lift the curtain on neuroscience for readers of all backgrounds and to answer the questions that I noticed people had about the brain in their daily lives. My goal was to make the science accessible and relatable, and in the process, I discovered how much I love connecting with others who share an interest in science.
​
The questions I explore in my books, including my latest release, A Billion Things To Ask A Neuroscientist, come directly from you, my readers. Research can be solitary work at times, but writing has allowed me to reach beyond the lab, building a community with everyone who reads, comments, or reaches out to talk about neuroscience.
CUSTOM ILLUSTRATIONS
Bringing brain pathways, psychology concepts, and neuroscience theory alive with bespoke illustrations designed especially to make exploring your brain even more interesting.
BRAIN DISSECTIONS
What better way to understand about the brain than to see one in real life. Slicing through the brain reveals the grey and white matter, anatomy, and even allows a real frontal lobe lobotomy.
APPLY TO YOUR LIFE
A huge emphasis has been put onto making neuroscience relevant to your daily life. Linking to news articles, current breakthroughs, clinical trials, and neurohacks that you can actually use.
