The MƒA Thursday Think Speaker Series brings accomplished speakers who dive into cutting-edge topics in STEM education to MƒA. These talks, held once a month throughout the school year, invite MƒA teachers and the general public to learn and engage with these thought leaders and professionals in mathematics, science, and education.

In this talk, neurobiologist Dr. Erich Jarvis uses innovative research techniques that often defy convention to demonstrate what songbirds can reveal about the evolution of the human brain, spoken language, and singing. Through integrating computational, behavioral, physiological, and molecular techniques, Dr. Jarvis explores the neural genetics of vocal learning and the evolution of this complex behavior.
