Wendy Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University.She invests much of her time studying brain plasticity–how the brain is able to grow and adapt over the lifespan. She is known for her extensive work studying areas of the brain that are critical to our ability to develop and retain long-term memories. But she’s also conducted a lot of research on anxiety and how we can use it as a way to empower ourselves. Some of the things she talks about today are the exact exercises that can reduce anxiety, how to turn anxiety into a superpower, and the things that are likely to make your anxiety worse.
