Join us for an insightful conversation with neuroscientist and author Nicole Rust as she discusses her provocative new book, Elusive Cures: Why Neuroscience Hasn’t Solved Brain Disorders—and How We Can Change That.

In Elusive Cures, Dr. Rust explores the significant gap between the exponential growth in brain research and the slow progress in finding effective treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Sharing her personal journey, she explains the reasons for this disconnect, challenging the conventional wisdom that a simple cause-and-effect approach is sufficient for understanding the brain. She advocates for a new perspective, urging us to view the brain as a complex system. Holman Biotech Commons invites you hear her views on the exciting new directions for potential cures.

Please join us for what will surely be an exciting conversation. 

This event is open to the public.
