Description

This week on the Sarah Lawrence Library Podcast we're joined by Neuroscientist and professor at SLC Maia Pujara. Tim asks Maia an assortment of questions ranging from the concrete to the abstract. It is a lighthearted yet informative conversation about the science of the human brain.

Topics include:

• What is Neuroscience?
• How does emotion affect decision making.
• What is the brain?
• Passing judgment on certain parts of the body.
• Maia's interests in the brain's decision making ability.
• What drew Maia to neuroscience.
• What's happening to someone in the throws of a full-blown manic or depressive episode.
• What's something people just don't understand about science?

And much more!

There is also a slide projector demonstration for the live audience, as well as questions from the audience.
