“New Hope for Solving Problems of Human Behavior” at Next Clarkson University Science Cafe

New Hope for Solving Problems of Human Behavior will be presented by St. Lawrence University Psychology Professor Adam Fox at the next Clarkson University Science Cafe at 7:15 p.m on Wednesday, October 21.

Traditionally, Science Cafes have brought together local university and college professors and townspeople in relaxed, informal settings, such as coffeehouses and pubs. For the health and safety of all, we are shifting to ZOOM, a virtual platform for the fall series of talks. The speaker will make a short presentation about a topic in his or her field and, as always, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Three things control your behavior: your genetic and physiological makeup inherited from your ancestors, everything you’ve ever experienced and your present circumstances. That’s all. There is no part of you or your behavior that can be free of those things. However, we tend not to think about our behavior and the behavior of others this way. What happens when we do? Join Professor Adam Fox (Psychology, St. Lawrence University) as he explains how thinking this way can result in meaningful social change and has already helped solve major behavioral problems, such as

addiction. When we understand the true causes of behavior, we can change behavior — and solve the problems of human behavior that we face.
