Neuroscience Shaping Society

1 Credit · Level: Graduate

Advancements in neuroscience have substantial ramifications across numerous sectors such as the environment, education, healthcare, consumer behavior, bioethics, aging, and national security. In order to create effective science-based decisions, it is essential to promote active communication between researchers and society, a fundamental principle acknowledged by governments, industry leaders, and funding agencies. This course will investigate the infrastructure and networks that encompasses both policymakers and researchers, and examine how these networks enable the translation of neuroscience discoveries for broader public engagement and societal impact.
