Description
A Series of Talks and Events at the Exploratorium for the HolidaysWednesday, November 15, 2008 through Saturday, January 10, 2009
Holidays are a time to celebrate and encourage generosity. Yet helping others is a behavior that exists throughout the year, and is deeply rooted in our psychology. This holiday season, the Exploratorium looks at the social and biological aspects of altruism with leading scientists, and offers fun and creative ways to give of ourselves to others. Discuss the evolution of cooperation with anthropologist Karthik Panchanathan and learn about decision-making and heroism with renowned psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo. Explore generosity in children with anthropologist Dr. Joan Silk, and join a workshop on raising kind kids with the Executive Director of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, Dr. Christine Carter. All events are included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.
