The Economic Impact of NeuroArts ft. Susan Magsamen
Over the summer, I had the pleasure of working with the NeuroArts Blueprint, an initiative from Johns Hopkins Medical School and the Aspen Institute aimed at strengthening and advancing the emerging field of NeuroArts. This field, which we’ll dive into in today’s episode, sits at the intersection of science, technology, and art. I’m thrilled to have Susan Magsamen with us today. Susan is one of the brains behind the NeuroArts Blueprint. She is the executive director of the International Arts+Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University and has dedicated her career to unlocking the power of the arts to enhance physical and mental health. She’s also the author of Your Brain On Art: How the Arts Transform Us. In this episode, we’ll explore the intersection of economics and NeuroArts and discuss what it’s like to be an entrepreneur pioneering a new field of study.

How the U.S. Childcare System Hurts Working Women
In a recent address, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said, “It is still too hard to be a working parent.” Her words highlight a significant challenge in America, especially for mothers. Inspired by my college research paper, we’ll dive into the American childcare system and its negative impact on working women. We will start with an overview of the current state of the U.S. childcare system. and then discuss how traditional gender norms exacerbate the issue. Following this, we’ll examine the direct effects of childcare challenges on women's career paths, and consider some interesting potential solutions to the childcare crisis. I'm no expert, but I have researched this topic extensively and hope to provide an informative and engaging discussion!Support the show
Teens and young adults around the world... It is no secret that learning about finances is boring for us, but the reality is that being financially illiterate is not an option. Through WhyFI Matters, we will explore fun, trendy and interesting topics while improving our financial IQ & learn about global citizenship, so that hopefully we won't have to live in our parents' basement when we're older!
