Dr. Sandra Witelson - Personally

Dr. Witelson enjoys teaching because "it’s nice to see other young students get excited about [psychology]." She is currently working on lateralization and what underlies differences between people in cognition. She is also currently studying another genius, "He contacted us after seeing all the media about Einstein’s brain."

Dr. Witelson has a husband and a daughter. She says she is most proud of balancing family life with a sustained career. She feels that the job that lends itself best to this kind of ideal balance is one that not only requires talent and education, but passion as well. She says, "I was lucky enough to find something I was really passionate about."
