👋 Meet Sophie Liebergall, writer of this week’s PNK article, “Window of opportunity for learning”, which discusses “critical periods” and how early life experiences permanently shape our brains.

🧠 Sophie is a second year MD-PhD student in Penn’s Neuroscience Graduate Group. Her research interests involve understanding how neurons communicate, and fail to communicate, during epilepsy.

👩‍⚕️ Sophie has always wanted to be a medical doctor, and fell in love with brain research as she began medical school classes. She also has passions for running, writing fiction and poetry, and exploring Philadelphia!
