Today, Wade has a fascinating conversation with Shackouls Honors College faculty member and Mississippi State University Philosophy professor Dr. John Bickle. Dr. Bickle has feet in both the worlds of philosophy and science, specifically neuroscience. He talks with Wade about what that means, why science literacy is so important, and the very nature of consciousness itself. The pair also discuss the upcoming book Dr. Bickle co-edited and co-wrote, "The Tools of Neuroscience in Experiment: Philosophical and Scientific Perspectives," which is scheduled for release in early 2020.
