John Medina a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. His goal is to introduce you to 12 things we know about how the brain works. He calls these Brain Rules. For each rule, He presents the science, introduces you to the researchers behind it, and then offer ideas for how the rule might apply to our daily lives, especially at work and school.

Center on the Developing Child - Harvard University

From the Science section of the site:

“The science of early childhood is a source of new ideas that could be used to develop more effective policies & services focused on the early years of life.

Science tells us that early childhood is a time of both great promise and considerable risk. Having responsive relationships with adults, growth-promoting experiences, and healthy environments for all young children helps build sturdy brain architecture and the foundations of resilience. Meanwhile, significant disadvantages can disrupt the developmental process and lead to limited economic and social mobility that threatens the vitality, productivity, and sustainability of society.”
