PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE RELATIONSCAPES PODCAST INSTEAD OF FIRESIDE! We grow up swimming in gender stereotypes: men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Men are rational and women are emotional. The binary cliches are everywhere, but are they true? Daphna Joel is a neuroscientist who wanted to know what the science actually says. When she looked at real brains she discovered that each person carries a unique mix of traits, a true mosaic that defies the old binary. Daphna Joel joins us to talk about her groundbreaking book "Gender Mosaic: Beyond the Myth of the Male and Female Brain." Full transcript is available here at relationscapes.org.  ABOUT THE GUEST Daphna Joel, PhD, is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Tel Aviv University. She has combined her expertise as a neuroscientist with her interest in gender studies to revolutionize the field of sex, brain and gender.
