About

Fabiana Kubke: Neuroscience/Education/Open.
a.k.a. @kubke on twitter (and pretty much everywhere else).

I am a neu­ro­science researcher and teacher at the Uni­ver­sity of Auck­land.
Every­thing we do is ulti­mately con­trolled by the brain, and I am fas­ci­nated by the diver­sity of behav­iours that can be seen in dif­fer­ent ani­mals. I am try­ing to under­stand how dif­fer­ent brain organ­i­sa­tions allow the dif­fer­ent behav­iours to emerge in dif­fer­ent ani­mals and how that is achieved through devel­op­ment and evo­lu­tion.
I am a big fan of sci­ence and edu­ca­tion and am try­ing to do my best to fol­low the lead of those who are mak­ing it acces­si­ble to everybody.

    I am try­ing to under­stand how dif­fer­ent institutional organ­i­sa­tions allow dif­fer­ent behavior to emerge in dif­fer­ent people, and how this is achieved through professional devel­op­ment and adaptation.

      Ha! Isn’t that the question we all have, eh? :) I’d love to be able to even scratch the surface of that. One place I keep an eye on is the Bioengineering Institute at UoAKL. They do a lot of work in the open space. Peter Hunter provides great leadership, and he might be a good brain to pick for that.
