In his TEDxYouth@Manchester talk, psychologist Ben Ambridge, the author of “Psy-Q,” debunks popular ideas about how our brain works.
He addresses the general idea that psychologically men and women are very different when it comes to things like spatial awareness and language ability. Turns out the margin is very small.
Also, it’s a myth that people have particular learning styles, like a visual learner versus a kinesthetic learner. Ambridge points out that it depends on what you are trying to learn, not what kind of “learner” you are. Being a left or right brain learner is a myth, too, or that left-handed people are more creative because they use the right part of their brain more.
All of us have likely heard that we only use 10 percent of our brains, which isn’t true. And unfortunately, listening to Mozart doesn’t make you smarter (unless you are already fond of the composer’s work).
This all could be considered good news. We don’t need to paint ourselves into a corner when interpreting our psychological identity.
A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
