Description

An innovative and interactive session that taps the areas of neuroscience, psychology and biology to understand how science, emotion and ethical decision-making interact. Instead of critiquing how our minds are supposed to work, this session delves into the fascinating world of how our minds work when we face complex problems where a `best choice" doesn't seem to exist. The talk will also explore why ethical codes have often failed and how to improve individual and organizational ethical reasoning.
