IF YOU SHOW ME YOUR DNA, CAN I TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE?

Genes, luck and social inequality

Is it our genes or upbringing that determines how we behave towards others? And which one decides how healthy or successful we become?

Dr. Kathryn Page Harden, a psychology professor and director of the Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab at the University of Texas claims that our DNA impacts not only our personality traits but also our academic and financial success.

After writing for The New York Times and The Washington Post on the subject and publishing her book 'The Genetic Lottery’, on September 26, she is taking Brain Bar's stage in Budapest! What does equality mean if we are not born the same? How can we create a truly fair society? Dr. Harden will challenge your views on the age-old question of "nature vs. nurture" and on social justice.
