In this week's episode, we are thrilled to introduce Dr. Mark Williams, a distinguished neuroscientist  and educator who is on a mission to create a ‘brain healthy world’. 

During the show, we delve into the intricate relationship between technology and the human brain.  Mark, sheds new light on the detrimental effects technology, particularly on our creative faculties. (He suggests a couple of powerful and practical solutions:  disconnect from notifications and immerse ourselves in activities that ignite different regions of our brain)s.

Mark is an internationally recognised Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, with over 25 years of experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research, focusing on our social skills. 

Not your typical academic, Mark is also defined by his desire to make his neuroscience discoveries more accessible to the general public (in other words, he’s a super-bright guy who also talks plain English!)

Head to the podcast to hear why being creative is to be vulnerable, why we should be honey bees not locusts and why our understanding of ‘tribes’ is so vital to the way we interact.
