Nathalia Gjersoe

I am a developmental psychologist, specifically interested in how the developing brain understands scientific concepts and what natural cognitive hurdles there are in teaching science to children and adults. I did my undergraduate degree at Edinburgh University, worked in research for 3 years and then went to Bristol University to do my PhD in Cognitive and Perceptual Development with Prof Bruce Hood. I am now a lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the Open University, Teaching Associate at Bristol University and consultant for Aardman Animations.
