Each year the CNS Public Talk Series highlights an issue or theme. The 2022-2023 theme is Neuroscience and Policy.

As neuroscience becomes ever more relevant to human behavior and wellbeing, some are looking to it for policy guidance. This year’s Public Talks will explore the ways in which policy may be informed and improved by neuroscience. Is this a neuro-pipedream? Promising but premature? Or already a valuable source of guidance for policy makers? Come hear the experts and make up your own mind!

Lectures run 4:30-5:30 PM EST, followed by a short discussion and are free to attend. Please RSVP to: info@neuroethics.upenn.edu to receive the Zoom link.
