Media Coverage

As a researcher, I believe in making complex scientific findings accessible to wider audiences. My approach to science communication focuses on translating laboratory discoveries into meaningful insights that connect with everyday experiences—how music shapes our memories, influences our emotions, and potentially enhances learning.

I collaborate with journalists and media outlets to share research findings in ways that highlight both the scientific rigor behind the work and its practical implications. Whether discussing how background music affects workplace productivity or explaining how musical elements can enhance memory formation, my goal is to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and real-world applications.

Through these outreach efforts, I aim to contribute to public understanding of neuroscience while highlighting the fascinating intersections between music, memory, and the brain.
