Professor Phil Fisher presents keynote at LEGO Idea Conference — with muppets!

Neno and Kami, Muppets from the South African Sesame Street show, lent a furry hand to UO psychology professor and Philip H. Knight Chair Phil Fisher during a keynote address at a recent LEGO Idea Conference in Denmark. The fuzzy fellows were only too happy to help Fisher bring a complex idea down to earth. Fisher is a leading expert on children’s neurobiological and psychological development. The director of the UO’s Center for Translational Neuroscience, he develops programs in low income and marginalized communities for improving children’s healthy development, including their ability attach to caregivers, build relationships with peers and function in school.
