"Time Off" with Max Frenzel

Welcome to the fourth episode of our Science Policy mini-series. In this episode, we interview Prof. Andrea Lavazza. Prof. Lavazza is a professor of neuroethics at the University of Pavia in Italy. Among other topics, we discussed what is the field of neuroethics concerned with, how philosophy can help us with informing policy and decision-making, or ethical issues that come with using neuroimaging in the courtroom.   

Welcome to the third episode of our Science Policy mini-series, where Daniel talked with Katie Cooke. Katie participated in our last year's Science Policy Paper Competition with her paper 'Gender Dysphoria: What it is and Why Does it Matter?'. We discussed what is gender-affirming health care, why is it important to allow access to it, and if there is enough scientific evidence to ban it.

Welcome to the second episode of our Science Policy mini-series, where we interview Kathleen Carmichael. Kathleen participated in last year's ⁠Science Policy Paper competition⁠ with her paper, ⁠'Revealing Injured Minds: Harnessing Cutting-Edge Neuroimaging for Enhanced Brain Injury Claim Validity'⁠. We discuss the different issues she touches upon in her work, such as the challenges that come with the potential use of neuroimaging measures in the courtroom. These include but are not limited to education, privacy, and accessibility.
