Read excerpt
I got invited to chat to on the podcast recently and, to my surprise and delight, I actually got to talk about some of my own research. These days, when I get invited it’s most often to talk about mental health and neuroscience misinformation, which I also love, but I did actually have a fairly productive career prior to my science communication journey.So today I want to continue that conversation and talk about the benefits of social interaction and the dangers of social isolation, as well as
