Encouraging dialog across disciplines, to consider and discuss implications of neuroscience research
There are many topics at the intersection of neuroscience and society – areas where scientists can benefit by learning more about applications and implications of scientific findings, and non-scientists can benefit by learning about tools, technologies, our current understanding of brain biology, and where that understanding is limited. Direct conversation can inform, generate transparency, and ultimately lead to new and improved policies and implementations that positively impact community health.
