Benjamin Gold Email & Phone Number | I’m a quantitative thinker with a passion for translating complex concepts to diverse audiences. Finding the art in science and the science in art, I research the neuroscience of human thriving and I teach students to find the reward in learning. I bring energy and passion to the classroom, the meeting room, and the page. In cognitive neuroscience, I've drawn on psychological, biological, computational, and behavioral methods to understand a wide range of phenomena. During my PhD, I examined how music taps into neural systems for learning and reward, revealing new insights into how our brains become curious and learn. I then explored how alertness modulates brain-body interactions to support cognitive functioning, and developed R&D plans for tools to detect and regulate human emotions. I’ve published my research in leading journals, presented it at many international conferences, and earned several awards and grants for it. Yet research is only impactful if it's understood. While experimental design and statistical modeling help me break down complex problems, I hone my presentation and writing skills though workshops, seminars, competitions, public lectures, teaching, and meetings with policymakers and journalists. As a teaching assistant for three years, I made introductory statistics engaging for 150 students, receiving consistently positive reviews. For four years I designed and taught science lessons for elementary and high school, using active learning strategies and enthusiasm to inspire a new generation of critical thinkers. I'm also a fierce advocate for diverse, equitable, inclusive, and more informed communities. Alarmed by the lack of diversity I encountered in higher education, I volunteered for seven educational organizations focused on underserved communities. At the height of the Syrian refugee crisis, I co-managed two non-profits offering free language tutoring and mentoring for refugees by recruiting and coordinating volunteers, fostering relationships with experts, and partnering with like-minded organizations. I've volunteered as a policy analyst with ThinkTennessee and as a local science partner with the American Geophysical Union, using data analysis, policy research, writing, and data visualization to advance evidence-based policymaking for all at both the state and federal levels. I'm dedicated to using my quantitative and communication skills for the public good, and am now looking for new opportunities to do so.
