Evan McGloughlin

While in his final year of studying Neuroscience in Dublin, Evan decided to start a language learning company with his best friend, although being completely terrible at learning second languages. After finishing up his time in the neuroscience labs he fled to sunny Spain to scale his startup, Weeve Languages. Weeve uses a learning technique called the “Diglot-Weave” to insert foreign “palabras” into the most “interesante” content. It's here building this contextual learning tool that Evan developed a passion for education through entertainment. Evan now works full-time as a Neuroscience Communicator on YouTube and is the Host of the Giant’s Shoulder Neuroscience podcast where he speaks to Neuroscientists, attempting to unravel the infinite secrets of the brain. Evan has always been passionate about sport, being a professional tennis coach for the past 11 years. He’s recently developed an insatiable hunger for endurance sports and is building towards his first iron distance triathlon. He has large ambitions for what he can accomplish in this sport. If he’s not exercising Evan is probably reading a book or playing a strategy game, almost certainly with a coffee in hand.
