You’ve likely heard that we’re facing a crisis of loneliness, but how does isolation truly affect the brain? Join us on November 19 from 7-8:30pm for the first installation of our Science Buff Lecture Series. We’ll be joined by social neuroscientist and author Ben Rein, PhD, we will explore the important biology behind our need to connect, drawing insights from his new book, Why Brains Need Friends.
Take a hike among the marshes and wildlife of Tifft Nature Preserve. Five miles of nature trails and boardwalks greet visitors year-round in this urban oasis.
The programs of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences are supported in part by public funds from the County of Erie; City of Buffalo; New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; and our members and friends. You are inspiring and we are most grateful.
