Hi!  My name is Etan Markus, I'm a professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences.  I'm a "Behavioral Neuroscientist", meaning that I'm interested in the brain basis of behavior.  More specifically, I'm fascinated by the process in which we turn experiences into long term memories.

We live in exciting times with new insights into how our brain works being uncovered almost daily! I love to share my knowledge with future scientists and medical professionals.

My teaching and mentorship has been recognized...
