Heading down the home stretch of my journey to Iceland

Dean Akinwuntan leads a class in motor cognition.
I have enjoyed my time teaching a class in motor cognition here at the University of Akureyri.


It’s hard to believe, but I am already wrapping up my stay here in Iceland. While here at the University of Akureyri, my primary duty has been teaching a class in motor cognition.



I will be leaving Akureyri on Thursday for three scheduled vists and presentations in Rehkjavik, the country’s capital. And on Tuesday, Nov. 15, I will make my final departure from Iceland and return to the United States.

Pictures in today's post are courtesy of the official photographers here at the university.
