The Climatized Brain

UPDATED: Guest speaker had an emergency. TOPIC for MARCH is THE CLIMATIZED BRAIN.
Test your ability to be flexible and your brain's neuroplasticity to pivot to this new subject.

How is climate change impacting us--not only our environment, but our physiology, our brains in particular? How can neuroscience help us understand climate change?

Do our brains suffer as the earth warms and changes? What impact does climate change have on our brains and nervous systems?

What else comes to mind when YOU ponder climate change and your own brain's future?

Tomer offered this video podcast of the topic:

Here is the Notebook LM page for the Climatized Brain. This was built only using the materials on the event page. There are two podcasts of different lengths depending on how much detail you want or time you have. And you can also ask questions and get answers based just on the specific materials. If you do use it, I’m interested in your feedback, and if you found it valuable. https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/7674c988-6066-4410-b1d6-d67ea96ef306?artifactId=ebdae4e1-6bb6-41fb-b22f-c4bbbfee3dcb
