The mind-body problem of scientific discovery

8:42 · Natalie Gunn · 2018-02-12

Natalie Gunn makes a case for thinking of our minds and bodies as a continuum rather than a duality. She's especially intrigued by how this continuum may relate to cancer and whether our mindset impacts the disease. Natalie argues that we have to take the question seriously: "We need to investigate how a disease of the body could be impacted by our mind." She explores where the body ends and the mind begins, and investigates where the two connect.
