"We need to start measuring social interactions and understand compassion"
I am delighted to welcome Tania Singer on this week survival of the kindest podcast. Tanya is a psychologist and Professor of Social Neuroscience. She is the scientific director of the Max Planck Society's Social Neuroscience Lab in Berlin. Between 2007 and 2010, she became the inaugural chair of social neuroscience and neuroeconomics at the University of Zurich and was the co-director of the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research in Zurich. Her research focuses on the developmental, neuronal, and hormonal mechanisms underlying human social behaviour and social emotions such as compassion and empathy. She is founder and principal investigator of the ReSource project, one of the largest longitudinal studies on the effects of mental training on brain plasticity, as well as mental and physical health, co-funded by the European Research Council.
