Packed Lunch: Optimism
19 March 2010, 13.00 - 13.45

Feed your curiosity at our daytime discussions. Drop in to hear
local scientists in conversation about their latest experiment,
life in the lab and why science matters to everyone, all in the
space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with you. First come,
first seated.
It is estimated that 80 per cent of the population are
optimists. But how do we maintain a positive outlook in the face of
reality? At the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging,
Tali Sharot is teasing apart the neurological
basis of optimism. Join her to find out how a sunny disposition may
be the key to our evolutionary success.
No need to book. This event is free.
