Mary Beth Kirchner

Complicated concepts come to life when there’s a compelling human story to draw the listener in. That’s the premise of this session and the driving force behind producer Mary Beth Kirchner’s two decades of reporting about neuroscience for radio and television. When the viewer or listener “cares” about the subject – that presents a “teachable moment” where complicated ideas pop out of the TV/radio and resonate long after in the audience’s thinking.
