What motivated YOU to get into neuroethics? I’ll start…BUT I really want to know what motivated others so please join in below and nominate others! I nominate @HankGreelyLSJU you& #39;ll see why below...

I got my PhD in Neuroscience at NYU with @theamygdaloid in 2010. During that time, I was fascinated with the science but also the potential ethical and policy implications of emerging neurotech.

A year before I finished my PhD, I heard a talk by @HankGreelyLSJU at SfN 2009 about Societal Reactions to Neuroscience’s Understandings of the Mind. I immediately thought: “I want to do what that guy does!” I’ll probably never be as good as Hank but the inspiration is therehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😀" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">

A year later, I applied to law school to pursue these interests. I completed my JD at Penn Law and Masters in Bioethics @PennMEHP, postdoc in ELSI Genetics @unc_bioethics with @eric_juengst, then faculty @BCMEthics and the rest is history…

Would love to hear from more people. What about @KharaRamos @_APeterson_ @NitaFarahany @LSydMJohnson @WinstonChiong @KarenFerra_ @_Roberts_Laura @drpouratian @anna_wexler @BlumenthalBarby @AFeinsinger @emily_a_largent @ProfEmilyMurphy @yusterafa @neuroastics
