Eric Kandel, “From Vienna to New York: Memory of a Life in Two Worlds.”

In this talk, 2000 Nobel Laureate Dr. Kandel explores his career in brain science and its connection to art through the lens of autobiography; he also reflects on how Jewishness has shaped his life as a scientist and a thinker.  His recent book Reductionism in Art and Brain Science—Bridging the Two Worlds is one of several in which he finds common ground between neuroscience and humanistic questions.
