A neuroscientist by training, I joined the Dana Foundation in early 2022 to build the new Neuroscience & Society strategy and programs of the Foundation. This work underscores my long-standing interest in the intersection of science and society. Previously, I worked at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where I was the director of the neuroethics program and chief of neuroscience content and strategy in the Office of Neuroscience Communications and Engagement. I led the rapid growth of neuroethics efforts for the NIH BRAIN Initiative, positioning the NIH as a global leader in the emerging field of neuroethics.
