Broken Keys Publishing - KIDS! is proud to announce the addition of two fantastic authors to our growing and stellar lineup!
Marion Van Horn PhD
Marion was born and raised in the picturesque Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. She did her undergraduate studies in human physiology, and subsequently obtained her PhD in neurophysiology from McGill University. Marion is a mother of 3 and has spent over a decade studying the mysteries and wonders of the brain at The Montreal Neuro. She made this book so that others can share in the inspirational beauty and magnificence that is the human brain, and hopefully ignite a similar passion in the next generation of neuroscientists.
Maria Zamfir PhD
Maria is an artist, neuroscientist, and mom! She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at McGill University. During her PhD, Maria also created The Neuron Family, where these neuron and glia characters come to life to help explain complex neuroscience concepts. Maria has volunteered with both BrainReach and Brain Awareness Week to teach elementary and high school students about neuroscience. Maria loves sharing her neuroscience-inspired art with the world!
