Broadcaster hosts THINK AGAIN!


On 18th November, Claudia takes us on a tour of the newest thinking on the Psychology of Laughter, Lies and Gambling with insights from psychologists from the : Professor Tom Ormerod, Dr Bryan Singer and Professor Gilly Forrester.

During this tour of the psychology of these three common behaviours, the panellists will reveal why we laugh, what happens in the brain when we gamble and how to spot a liar.

Enjoy an evening of cutting-edge science just for adults with an interactive Q&A. The show includes an interval with a pay bar.


Host:

Claudia is well known for presenting All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 which covers psychology, neuroscience & mental health. She is Visiting Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Sussex.


Panel:

Tom is a psychologist who studies expert decision-making in criminal justice. He studies how we can tell when someone is lying (and why we're really not very good at it).

Bryan is a neuroscientist researching learning, memory, and addiction. He's been investigating why some people continue to gamble despite the problems it causes them, and he seeks ways to reduce gambling harms.

Gilly is an evolutionary and developmental psychologist. She does research with human and non-human great apes, studying how our minds and behaviour evolved and develop over time.
