Welcome

The Foundation for the Advancement of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS), headquartered in Washington DC, is an educational, non-profit organization established to promote and enhance understanding of the behavioral, psychological, cognitive, and brain sciences. Created to take over a substantial part of the educational mission of the Federation of Behavioral, Psychological, and Cognitive Sciences on behalf of its constituent sciences, FABBS focuses its efforts in three directions. One is to educate the public about the contributions of these important fields to the well-being of individuals and society. A second is to educate Congressional staff and others in the Federal Government about our sciences (as distinct from lobbying them, which is the sole purview of the Federation). The third is to facilitate productive dialogue between scientists and relevant stakeholders in the public and private sector on topics at the intersection of science and public policy, such as human subject protections and new but risky scientific directions.

Elections: How Voters Really Think and Feel

SAGE Publications was pleased to sponsor this event.

As the country gears up for the next presidential election, we all speculate on who will win – and why. Does it matter if the candidate is male or female, minority or majority, attractive or not—or whether the country simply wants change?

This science café addressed these questions and more as Professors Eugene Borgida, PhD (University of Minnesota) and Alexander Todorov, PhD (Princeton University) brought their expertise to bear on these hot-button issues.
