@OfTrota I have all my respects for this woman.

@nettiescampaign When Marian Diamond was criticized for her work, she didn't let it stop her from proving it again and again and was also ultimately proving correct. 👑Queen duo👑

@FriedaRobscheit I agree.

@NettieS56648029 Getting to know more about our own biology and anatomy is my type of knowledge.

@NettieS56648029 You go, revolutionary girl!

"The human brain is the most complex mass of protoplasm on earth-perhaps even in our galaxy." It's astonishing that such a small object in the universe could be the most complex thing. Yet we still don't fully understand how the brain works.

"The brain is a three-pound mass you can hold in your hand that can conceive of a universe a hundred billion light-years across."

My anatomy lectures remain on Youtube to inspire another generation of students. Make sure to check it out!
Here's a clip. Hope you learn something new!

I also worked at the University of California as a dedicated teacher and mentor. I would always be seen walking through the campus carrying a flowered box containing a preserved brain inside.

When Terence Hines criticized me for my findings after a meeting, I simply replied, "I’m sorry, sir, but we have the initial experiment and the replication experiment that shows it can."

After I studying rats, I showed how the brains of all animals, including humans, benefit from an enriched environment, and that impoverished environments can lower the capacity to learn.

My results were initially resisted by some neuroscientists. It was an uphill battle for women scientists then, even more than now, and people at scientific conferences are often terribly critical. But I kept persisting.

When I studied Einstein's brain in 1984, I discovered that he had more support cells (specifically glial cells) than average. No wonder he was so smart!

I am the first scientist to show that the brain can change with experience and improve with enrichment.

I am one of the founders of modern neuroscience.
