The Podcast
In this episode, we speak with Mélusine Boon-Falleur about her fascinating research on contextual adaptation and optimal resource allocation, their impact on human behavior, and how this research might be used to make treatment more effective.
In this episode, we explore the powerful impact our community has on our own health, a phenomenon known as social allostasis. This episode sheds some light on the unique and shared experiences of the pandemic, and how we might use those lessons to change our future.
In this episode, we speak with Richard Gentry about his experiences over 30 years in the field, the current status of youth treatment and detention, and turning the tide of juvenile services.
In this episode, we speak with Eli Savit about a fresh vision for the Criminal Justice System, ending cash bail, conviction integrity units, and the public health crises that contribute to system involvement.
Common misconceptions about emotions and behaviors impact everything from how we parent, to how a judge sentences youth in their courtroom. Illuminating the neural origins of emotion and behavior can bring relief to parents, youth, and direct care staff. This podcast is intended to do just that. Think “Car Talk” meets neuroscience.
