Contempla.

What is this, exactly?

A quirky, personal newsletter about neuroscience, ethics, social impact and other odd topics.

Contempla. is a new iteration of a newsletter I started for family and friends when I was in grad school at Harvard’s Mind, Brain, and Education program, focused on social cognitive neuroscience and adult group learning.

New editions weekly for the next eight weeks. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.

Why does this exist?

In a time of overwhelming misinformation, rapid technological advancement, and endlessly hurried lives, can we create space for contemplation?

Space to consider what matters most?

What do we know, from the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and ethics, that can help us meet this moment?

What do we, importantly, not know? What might we need to sit with to uncover our own answers?

Can we increase our capacity for complexity, compassion, and collaboration to meet what life is asking of us in these times?

Contempla. is a space for the exploration of these questions and many more. A quirky, human, personally reflective compilation of sources from neuroscience, psychology, ethics, morality, education, and social good.

Interested? Take a look around.

Perhaps experiment with letting something a bit odd land in your inbox on a monthly basis.
