WomanUP Conference 2020
The Brain and Movement
Presented by APA Solutions
Yes, you read that right: the wait is over for WNY’s premier woman’s conference. After a year of gathering excellent feedback and hosting supplemental sessions to help our community own the “elevate you” initiative, WomanUP is ready to dive back in with a summit focused on the brain and movement.
Place a big WU on Thursday, January 30th because we’re hosting a day focusing on brain-friendly ways to elevate you while getting the blood flowing in 2020. We’re extremely honored to share that our keynote for this event will be best-selling author Dr. Wendy A. Suzuki, a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University. From stress to eating to exercise, Suzuki offers scientific evidence for what habits will make us the happiest while facing resolution season.

Dr. Wendy A. Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University.
She received her undergraduate degree in physiology and human anatomy at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987 studying with Prof. Marion C. Diamond, a leader in the field of brain plasticity. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from U.C. San Diego in 1993 and completed apost-doctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health before accepting her faculty position at New York University in 1998.
Her major research interest continues to be brain plasticity. She is best known for her extensive work studying areas in the brain critical for our ability to form and retain new long-term memories. More recently her work has focused on understanding how aerobic exercise can be used to improve learning, memory and higher cognitive abilities in humans. Wendy is passionate about teaching (see her courses), about exercise (intenSati), and about supporting and mentoring up and coming scientists
