This week was a busy one. We had a professor come in and explain the difference between the female and male brain. I thought that the lesson will be difficult and the vocabulary words would be advance but surprisingly it was really informative and it answered a lot of curious questions. Something that I found to be really interesting was when a female rat was born is injected with testosterone, when they grow up they will not have any kisspeptin protein in her brain and she will never ovulate and will take on the characteristics of a male rat.The reason why I found this interesting is because you can alter female's brain at birth to make it have traits of a male. Moving onto Friday we had a field trip to the place where we will exhibit. When we were there we were given zines and asked what does the cover convey and inside the zine, what does it talk about and what social needs are being taken. Then there were some advocates that came in. Someone that struck me was Diana Pastora Carson. I was able to relate to her because she has a brother with a disability and from him she treated others with respect and helped others be included and have a sense of belonging in their community. Since I also have a brother with a few disabilities I can relate to her passion against injustice/segregation with people that have disabilities.
