Neuroscience
Podcasts and a PSA
Dana Alliance for the Brain produces a neuroscience podcast series called
Gray Matters as well as panel discussions and more. These recordings include thematic collections (neuroethics) and one-on-one interviews (Eric Kandel). Access the complete collection on their archived webcasts page.
Among the offerings:
Depression and Bi-polar Disorders
Prominent faculty from The Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center discuss the latest research and clinical findings on depression and bipolar disorders. Featured speakers included co-directors of the Center and Dana Alliance members Kay Redfield Jamison and J. Raymond DePaulo, Jr.
I think Dana does great work and I'm thrilled about this archive and all but *ahem* they hit on a pet peeve.
Bipolar is not two words. You don't ride a bi-cycle to see your BiSexual lover during a Bi En Ni Al. It's bipolar. Just one word. No hyphen. Lowercase. Simple.
This has been a public spelling announcement.
