Researching Progressive Futures: The science of human flourishing - from molecular engines to social brains
Add this event to your calendar
Where does the foundation of a healthy life truly begin? Pathways to human flourishing take many forms, from the microscopic "machinery" within our cells to the complex social networks that sustain our minds as we age. These Professorial talks explore how resilience is built across every scale of human existence - from the high-resolution imaging of the molecular engines that control our cells, to community-led initiatives exploring how social interaction protects the ageing brain.
Join the Sussex School for Progressive Futures for this free lecture series, celebrating the appointment of our newest professors from across the University. In this event, we explore the transformational theme of Human Flourishing from different perspectives, bridging structural biology and behavioural neuroscience to spark bold, interdisciplinary conversations.
At this event we will hear from:
- , Professor of Biomedical Structural Biology at the School of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine
- , Professor of Neuroscience at the School of Psychology, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine.
.
The talks will be followed by refreshments in the foyer in celebration of our newly appointed colleagues.
All are welcome.
