Description of Event
Are gender stereotypes based on reality? Is there a kernel of truth that men are more likely to engage in risky behavior whereas women are more cautious? Are women more sensitive and emotional than men? In this seminar you’ll discover the structural and functional
differences between the male and female brain. You’ll also take a fun look at where you fall on the
gendered brain spectrum.
