Dr. Therese Huston is a cognitive neuroscientist and Faculty Development Consultant at Seattle University, where she transforms good science into great practice. She was the founding director of the university’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and is now a consultant for Seattle University’s Center for Faculty Development.
In her latest book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, she delivers a treasure trove of neuroscience-backed strategies to help readers think faster, focus better, and perform at their best—whether in the classroom, the office, or beyond. Therese has written three other books, including Teaching What You Don’t Know, which was published by Harvard University Press.
Therese is an international speaker and has led workshops for organizations of every size, from huge Fortune 100 companies to small colleges and universities and everything in between. Her favorite presentation was for a standing room only crowd at Harvard Business School, and her least favorite presentation was for a conference in Denver almost 20 years ago where only two people showed up. In addition to her peer-reviewed scientific publications, she has written for a variety of trusted media outlets, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Harvard Business Review, and The Guardian.
