Professional Achievement Award for:
An animation on the Epigenetics of Psychiatric Disease
For my teaching development project, I would like to produce a new 5-minute animation on epigenetics. Essentially, this video would demonstrate how environmental events impact genes and genetic vulnerability to psychiatric illness. This video would be a key tool in teaching a fundamental concept in neuroscience, that would benefit students from 1st to 4th year and beyond. Critically, this video would also be available to the public as it would be hosted on the Carleton University YouTube channel.
