We live in a visual world. From what we see when we open our eyes in the morning to the pictures we see on social media, there is a lot to observe in the world around us, but have you ever wondered how we understand what we see and how this information could change how we feel and act? Join us in this month’s Science in the News talk where three Yale scientists will discuss how we engage with a visual, social, and stressful world. You will learn about how we process what we see in the world around us in our brains, how seeing emotional images and social media impacts our brains, and how influences like social media posts play a broader role on impacting the viewers behavior, especially in the case of how people perceive primates as pets.
Yale Science Communication (or Yale SciComm) is a graduate student organization that aims to ignite scientific engagement across diverse communities and train effective science communicators in the broader Yale graduate and postdoctoral community.
