See all- The Evolution of Con Games with Loren Pankratz, PhDLucky Labrador Beer Hall, Portland, OR
The sophisticated, AI-enabled cons that today's cyber criminals use to steal our money and destroy our sense of security are based on the same basic psychological principles that simple thieves and beggars first used to gain our confidence in the 16th and 17th centuries. Be on hand as psychologist Loren Pankratz, PhD, explains the basic psychological principles that thieves and beggars have used for centuries.
Dr. Pankratz, who worked at the Portland Veterans Administration Hospital for 24 years and was a professor at OHSU, is a nationally recognized expert on topics ranging from PTSD and false memory syndrome to Munchausen by Proxy.
Dr. Pankratz's presentation is the keynote at the Oregonians for Science and Reason (O4SR) Annual Meeting. Please RSVP below OR at the O4SR Meetup page.
