Dr. Jenna Dunlop is a scientist, educator, public speaker, and writer with a very wide range of expertise – from oil sands to carbon tax, climate change to environmental technology, and menopause to ADHD. One of her main passions is making science understandable and accessible to anyone who has an interest, so they can better understand complex but really interesting and important research happening in today’s world.
Dr. Jenna has worn many hats through the years, working at senior levels in government, industry, at not-for-profits, as well as in traditional and virtual education. She returned full time to researching, writing, and educating at midlife. Dr. Jenna reviewed the primary science literature on this challenging stage of a woman’s life, summarizing information on symptoms and therapies in a website for all women (and men!) to access when they need menopause support (www.herstasis.com).
Getting a late diagnosis of ADHD in her late 50s led to her research to understand the science behind ADHD in women. This pivoted her away from industry to serve, educate, and advocate for all women experiencing ADHD symptoms – diagnosed or not (www.drjennadunlop.com).
Dr. Dunlop completed her undergraduate education at the University of Toronto with a double major in Psychology and Anthropology, then achieved a PhD in Biology and an MBA, both from York University in Toronto.More...
