60 minutes•Stand 2
Llona Kavege (The University of Edinburgh) dispels the hype around Brave New World like baby-making machines and tackles the pressing social and ethical implications of tinkering with the beginning of life. Does the state of the world make you anxious? Worried? Full of impending doom? Emily Payne (The University of Edinburgh) thinks that’s probably a good thing. A dive into the neuroscience behind anxiety reveals that instability is to blame, and what you can do about it. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
