He is doing a great job in Australia and looking for innovative ways to bring his work to the US, mostly based (at least last time I checked) on cognitive therapy techniques. Thank you for mentioning his very relevant work! Hello M.A., Jack and I know each other via the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.

(User groups primarily located in Australia.) I had a chance to speak with Heath on a drive down to the TED conference. It's was not clear neuroscience was part of the picture, but meditation certainly is! Heath spearheaded the project by investing in the WEB as the portal to creating access to information and community! I suspect the same will be true for creating "open source" communities that promote developmental neuroscience. Anyone at Sharpbrains interested in creating a conversation along these lines? Synaptically yours, Dr. G.
