#3: Dr Simon Cropper - how to thrive in psychology, find your research passion, why we need more psychologists and the joys of Glastonbury

Byron & Dazz Season 1 Episode 3

A candid and unfiltered conversation with Dr Simon Cropper - how to thrive in psychology, find your research passion, why we need more psychologists and the joys of Glastonbury.

Dr Simon Cropper is a senior lecturer and the Graduate Diploma of Psychology course coordinator at the University of Melbourne. He is our primary point of contact and has helped us immensely with everything from music recommendations, to care and enthusiasm as we’ve gone through a challenging programme during the pandemic. 

An aspiring “musical veterinarian” in his youth, and now an accomplished academic, neuroscientist and educator, with a keen interest in how the brain creates the reality we experience and attempt to share.
