Dr. Puder has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and teaches medical neuroscience courses to students in various Touro University programs.  In addition to teaching, Barb has developed neuroscience community outreach programs designed for grades K-12 and the community.  These programs introduce the brain and its functions by using age appropriate language and hands-on activities.  Touro University students participate in the brain programs by teaching a related neuroscience topic to grades K - 12.
