SUMMARY

Scientists are uncovering the unexpected connections between crucial neurotransmitters and our thoughts, memories and emotions.

Join Ginny Smith in conversation, as she explores her latest book ‘Overloaded’ and the role that neurotransmitters play in every aspect of our lives. Everything from what we remember, how we make decisions, who we love and basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.

In this conversation, Ginny gets to the bottom of exactly what these tiny molecules do, after talking to scientists at the cutting-edge of research into the world of brain chemistry.  

SPEAKER:

Ginny Smith loves science and thinks everyone else should too.

Ginny is a freelance science writer and presenter, based in Singapore, with a passion for sharing her love of science with anyone who will listen. 

She studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, taking courses in Chemistry, Materials Science and Evolution before discovering a love of brains and specialising in Psychology.

She also enjoys performing- acting, dancing and public speaking which meant she was never off stage for long while growing up. When she discovered that she could bring together these two passions, her science communication career was born.
