PROFESSOR: Henrike Moll
DEPARTMENT: Psychology & Philosophy
RATE MY PROFESSOR: ”Super kind prof and genuinely wants to see her students succeed”
Professor Moll’s work focuses upon the development of infants and young children, in how they learn to understand the world around them. Her work takes an interdisciplinary approach, in combining the fields of psychology and philosophy to more broadly consider the different social and relational factors that influence the lifespan.
Fun Fact: Dr.Moll is originally from Germany!
PEAK: Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
DIFFICULTY: 1/5 (Entirely flat trail!)
SCENERY: YAY SALTWATER ESTUARY. So many things to see including mudflats, coastal dunes, and marshes.
FUN FACT: This is the largest saltwater marsh along the coast of California! More than 200 bird species live there (how many birds can you name?)
