In this week’s #DataTalk, we chat with Dr. Camilla Pang about her latest book: Explaining Humans: What Science Can Teach Us About Life, Love and Relationships — where she shares how her powers of neurodiversity (ASD, ADHD, GAD) and PhD in structural, chemical and computational biology helps her better understand the complexity of human psychology and relationships.
This insightful book combines scientific analysis, notebook illustrations and personal anecdotes to explain complex human issues like managing fear, dealing with perfectionism, building more empathy, and connecting with others. Dr. Pang creatively uses mathematics and science to provide a lens to understand human emotions and our complicated human relationships.
Topics discussed include:
- How to Better Understand & Support People with Autism
- Dealing with Overwhelming Sensory Data & Processing Emotions with ADHD
- One Way to Understand Autism & Struggle to Process Intense Sensory Data
