Neuroscience for society
Neuroscience is awesome! I primarily do my daily work because I enjoy it. However, it is important that we share our findings with the general public. Understanding how the brain works is important in developing treatments for mental and neurological disorders. But, it is not limited to that. Knowledge on how our brain finds optimally learns, makes the best decisions is good for everyone.
Neuroscience education
To date, information transfer from scientific papers to accessible and easy to understand summaries is scarce. Often, information gets sensationalized or misconstrued. This results in a lot of 'fake news' about scientific findings. Therefore, I advocate for a genuine neuroscience education, which I try to provide on my website. For that matter, I also want to invite you to follow my friend from Psyched!, who shares short educational posts about psychology and neuroscience. You will find him in the link below.
