He also revisits the "out there" transducer model of the brain and suggests a connection with a recent discovery supporting quantum wave activity in brain cell microtubules. Yes, quantum waves in the microtubules. Kevin also clarifies and expands on those wacky "extra" courses he described in Episodes 140 and 141. 00:00 | Introduction 00:51 | Clarifying Kevin's Wacky Supplemental Courses 15:50 | Quantum Activity in Brain Microtubules? 28:15 | Could There Be More Than One Strategy? 34:29 | The TAPP Hotline 35:11 | There Really Is Only One Strategy 48:00 | Staying Connected \u2605 If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org\/podcast-episode-143.html \ud83c\udfc5 Apply for your credential (badge\/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org\/podcast-episode-143.html\/#badge \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: RateThisPodcast.com\/theAPprofessor \u2753 Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org\/survey \u261d\ufe0f Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) \u2714\ufe0f Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Substack, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor \ud83d\udcf0 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org\/updates   Clarifying Kevin's Wacky Supplemental Courses 15 minutes In this segment, Kevin clarifies nuances from Episodes 140 & 141.

In this segment, he briefly explains the "Orch OR" theory that proposes consciousness occurs as quantum waves in the microtubules of brain neurons. Quantum properties such as superposition could explain how the brain works as a transducer. Recent investigation counters the argument that quantum waves would break down in the warm, wet microtubules. \u2605 Thinking New Thoughts about the Human Brain | TAPP 139 \u2605 Consciousness in the universe: A review of the \u2018Orch OR\u2019 theory (Section 5.1.

From age-old techniques to fresh, experimental approaches, being open to all strategies is really that "one" key to teaching and student success. Uniformity demanded by rigid course templates or official, designated courses can be limiting to course and instructor improvement over time\u2014and can be harmful (such as failing to nurture uncertainty tolerance). \u2605 Dramatic music Copyright \u00a9 2011 Varazuvi\u2122 \u2605 Online Testing Effectiveness Data | Turning My Gray Hair Brown | TAPP 102 \u2605 The Uncertainty Effect with Michelle Lazarus | TAPP 135   People Production: Aileen Park (announcer),  Andr\u00e9s Rodriguez (theme composer,  recording artist),  Karen Turner (Executive Editor), Kevin Patton (writer, editor, producer, host).
