In this engaging lecture, you’ll embark on a journey through a blend of cutting-edge and classic research from diverse fields, including neuroscience, complexity, political science, business, and biology. Dr. Jones-Rooy argues that these seemingly unrelated pursuits are not just distractions but are central to fostering discovery and growth in our primary endeavors. As a political and data scientist, Dr. Jones-Rooy applies quantitative methods to address challenges such as polarization and misinformation. She is the host of the podcast Behind the Data, which uncovers how data shapes our lives, and Political Reality, promoting critical thinking about politics.
