33 min
Watch episode

How do we make decisions? How do we choose to enter into conflict or avoid it? How do we establish relationships? This conversation with researcher Camilla Pang, author of the book Explaining Humans, offers some answers.

What are the scientific principles that determine our daily interactions? How do we decide whether or not to break social conventions?
These are some of the questions that Camilla Pang, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at the age of eight, had to ask herself to understand the world around her.

With a PhD in Biochemistry, she tries to provide answers based on her unique experience and using the language she knows best: science.
