Welcome to Brain Science with Dr. Ginger Campbell.

Brain Science has been on hiatus since March, but a new episode Dr. is to share information that I hope will be useful to both new listeners and even those of you who have been with me for years.

I have organized the information into three sections.

First, for the sake of new listeners, I will give a brief overview of brain science.

Then I will talk about the resources that are available on our website at brainscience podcast.com, including numerous ways to interact with me.

I will also explain how you can get additional content.

Finally, I will talk very briefly about how you can support brain science.

This show was actually launched in December of 2006 as the Brain Science Podcast,

and I just changed the name to brain science a few months ago.

The reason that I started the brain science podcast was that there was so much inaccurate superficial information about

neuroscience especially in the mainstream media while most people

seemed unaware of the many great books being written that provided accurate, accessible

information.

So from the beginning, my ongoing goal has been to explore how discoveries in neuroscience are unraveling the mystery of how our brains

make us human. Early on, my emphasis was on sharing the key ideas from books about

neuroscience, but I soon discovered that interviewing

the people who wrote these books was especially rewarding.

During the first two years, the Brain Science Podcast came out twice a month and I often alternated book

discussions with author interviews. During these first couple of years we

discussed many basic ideas which is why I often recommend going back to these early

episodes if you're totally new to neuroscience. However, I strive to make every episode accessible to listeners of all backgrounds.

Producing this sort of content twice a month was basically a full-time job, and actually
