Professor Rust shared a quote “This book was inspired by my growing pessimism about the path forward for brain research. On the other side of writing it, I’m unequivocally optimistic. This new ethos will have a profound impact on how I approach research at the “bench,” but I’m ready to embrace these changes wholeheartedly. Brain research is on the cusp of a new era. Now that I can see how things are transforming, I’m excited to share that vision with you.” Professor Nicole C. Rust

Quotes by Professor Nicole C. Rust (?)

“While the brain is complicated and brain research is technical, it is our good fortune that these issues are conceptual, and the concepts themselves are pretty straightforward. Ideas about the path forward for brain research are important for experts engaged in brain research, but not just for researchers; they are also important for anyone who is affected by some type of brain dysfunction or has a loved one who is, as well as for policymakers, journalists, and anyone who wants to better understand the brain. Understanding the brain concerns all of us. It makes sense that we should all be privy to the solutions.”
