How Social Connection Impacts Our Brain Health with Dr. Mark Williams

🎙️In this episode, I share the mic with Dr. Mark Williams, author of The Connected Species. Mark is an internationally recognised neuroscientist, with over 25 years experience conducting behavioral and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills, committed to creating a brain healthy world.

Not a typical ‘academic’, Mark comes from a disjointed family background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. Now, Mark runs programs for schools and businesses on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions and the impact of modern technologies (like smartphones) on our brains. He has considerable media experience, with many television and radio appearances featuring his research on topics ranging from facial expressions, emotions, racism, through to how the brain processes smells and why we can’t tickle ourselves.

Tune in to hear Mark share:

✅ His journey to becoming a neuroscientist

✅ Why he is so passionate about helping others improve their brain health

✅ The major health benefits of prioritizing social connection

✅ Tips to improve social connection and combat loneliness
