Meet Sharna Jamadar
Neuroscientist

Sharna is a neuroscientist, which means she studies the brain. When she was growing up, Sharna always wanted to go to university. At first, she studied maths and computer science, but she didn’t enjoy it. After taking a break, she discovered that she loved psychology, which is the study of how people think and feel. Now, Sharna runs a research lab where she explores how our life experiences affect our brains, especially as we get older. She loves her job because she gets to ask interesting questions and find answers through experiments. Her work has taken her all over the world, where she has met new friends from many different countries. Sharna’s research helps people live happier, healthier lives by understanding how our brains change throughout our lives.
