John Medina
Nacido: January 19, 1956 – Seattle, Washington, United States
John Medina is a developmental molecular biologist and popular science author whose work makes neuroscience accessible to general readers, focusing on learning, memory, child development, and aging. He is best known for Brain Rules and Brain Rules for Baby; Brain Rules became a best-selling, widely translated introduction to how brain research applies to work, education, and family life.
Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
John Medina built his career at the meeting point of laboratory science and public explanation. Trained as a molecular biologist, he earned two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Washington in 1981, one in cellular and molecular biology and one in microbiology and immunology, before completing a doctorate in microbiology at Washington State University in 1988. He has often traced his intellectual temperament back to childhood, when his mother, a fourth-grade teacher, encouraged curiosity as a habit rather than a slogan. That early emphasis on asking how people learn would become the through line of his work. ((https://johnmedina.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Full-JJM-Resume.pdf?utm_source=openai))
