Content Warning : Mentions of Domestic Violence and Childhood Poverty
Today's episode features a conversation with our show founder and host, Dr. Jim Coan!
In addition to hosting Circle of Willis, Jim is a Professor of Psychology at UVa, where he directs the Virginia Affective Neuroscience Lab. He is also the principal of Brown Residential College.
Circle of Willis is about to undergo a lot of developmental changes as we adapt our production over the next several months. It seemed like a perfect time to interview Jim to cap off the initial phase of this show! His story is one of struggle and triumph, and is a rarity in upper academia. Hopefully you are intrigued and inspired just as much as we are by this conversation with Jim Coan - as well as the greater context clips of his younger sister Sandra provides.

Today's episode features a recent conversation with physicist and writer Alan Lightman during his visit to Brown College at the University of Virginia in October 2022.
Dr. Lightman's prominent work in both science and the humanities challenges the divide between fields and he discusses his approach of both disciplines through a creative lens. Eventually, we get a little taste of what he does best - demonstrating the innate poetry of what we know, and don't know, about our universe. Are scientific and artistic pursuits really so different in their motivation?
Alan Lightman presently serves as Professor of the Practice of the Humanities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His new docu-series Searching: Our Quest for Meaning in the Age of Science will premiere on January 7th, 2023 on public television stations and stream online at PBS.org.

Today's episode features a conversation with developmental and comparative psychologist Felix Warneken. When do humans develop the ability to help one another and how does that differ from the behavior of our closest evolutionary relatives? If everything we do is ultimately self preservation on a biological level, how does altruism fit into our understanding of our own psychology?
Felix Warneken is presently a professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan.

Happy Labor Day and welcome back to Circle of Willis!
This episode celebrates the labor of love with a conversation between Jim Coan and Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It was recorded in 2019 at a live event hosted by Fountain Books in Richmond, Virginia to celebrate the release of their book Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love.
Through their extensive research and observation of couples, the Gottmans outline the importance of communication and the acceptance of conflict in a strong relationship. Using their own relationship experiences, they condense their findings into a handful of basic tenets that are easily understood, but sometimes a challenge to adopt in practice. Love is hard work!
After a long hiatus, this podcast is back with a bang...and a new producer : Sage Tanguay. Look for new episodes every other Monday from here on out!
