Irene Salter, PhD

Irene Salter’s 25 year career has taken her from premier neuroscience labs to the middle school classroom, from a school superintendent’s desk to nonprofit boardroom, from ropes course leader to Exploratorium exhibit designer, from published author to university chairwoman. These days, she uses science to help leaders thrive, not just survive. Her latest writing project, Brain Tripping, explores the hard-core science behind why we love to travel and teaches us how to thrive without ever needing to leave home.
