“Sara Giordano, who left the field of neuroscience to become a Women’s Studies professor at UC-Davis,”
Couldn’t hack the science so went the easiest route...
Neuroscience at least from what I see is a attempt to intellectually stiffen psychology by adding some significant math (e.g., calculus, etc.), some A.I (i.e., programming & some basic machine learning) & some human neurobiology to psychology. At the BS level it fails! What would you actually hire one to do that couldn’t be done better by a BS EE, CE or CS major?
All in all it seems to me to be just a “buzz” major to ensnare student suckers, soak up parental (or loan!) money to keep faculty slots filled.
