EnglishEl miércoles de abril de 13ª, la Academia de Ciencias de California y el Mar del Proyecto de Restauración de Tortugas será el anfitrión de la primera (espero que no la última) Science of Advocacy Session at the International Sea Turtle Society annual meeting.
Esperamos escuchar de estos oradores prometedores.:
- Dr. Darren Schreiber (UC San Diego) nos dará una cartilla en la intersección de la neurociencia, política pública y cambio de comportamiento.
- Dr. Lekelia Jenkins (Universidad de Washington) will discuss Sea turtles, El sentimiento y la imaginación moral.
- Conservation Photographer Neil Osborne will explore why (the right) picture (of a sea turtle) is worth a thousand words.
Much of the discussion will draw on the findings of this paper:
Biology, Politics, and the Emerging Science of Human Nature
James H. Fowler* and Darren Schreiber
En el pasado 50 años, biologists have learned a tremendous amount about human brain function and its genetic basis. Al mismo tiempo, political scientists have been intensively studying the effect of the social and institutional environment on mass political attitudes and behaviors. Sin embargo, these separate fields of inquiry are subject to inherent limitations that may only be resolved through collaboration across disciplines. We describe recent advances and argue that biologists and political scientists must work together to advance a new science of human nature.
