In this episode, we will meet Dr. John Walsh, an Associate Professor of Gerontology and Neuroscience and Assistant Dean of Gerontology at USC, and hear some of his valuable advice about mental health. He was a UC Irvine undergrad, went to grad school at The University of Pittsburgh school of medicine, and finished his Ph.D. at the University of Texas School of medicine. Then, he progressed through various research about the brain, neuroscience, stroke, etc. After 25 years of working in a brain-related research laboratory at USC, he became a professor here.Through his practical experience in life, he will provide us with valuable advice that helps students to have a healthy mental state. He reminds us to think about whether we are into what we are doing to attain the highest state of happiness as well as productivity in our life, shows having a like-minded and supported community could leverage our performance, and also wants us to know we should not stop our hobbies, as they are the most effective way for us to combat any mental challenges we will face in our life. Host: James LaiVideo edited by Dau Tran Minh Hoang
