The Power of Social Connection

Our social ties help us thrive, and episode 11 is all about the science of social connection! The importance of relationships cannot be overstated, not only for our mental health, but for the neurological underpinnings that shape our experience of the world. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Rose Perry to discover the neuroscience behind social ties, partnering with communities to combat lonelieness, and the surprising connection between human infants and... rats? Dr. Perry is the founder and executive director of Social Creatures, a non-profit with the mission to ensure any individual can connect with others, no matter the circumstances.
