We’re pleased to share a new interview with Professor Anastasia Christakou, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Reading and Director of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN).
In this interview, Prof. Christakou offers a compelling perspective on the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary research, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, institutional support, and inclusive research cultures. She introduces the pluralist approach as a key strategy for navigating complex scientific questions that span disciplines.
Drawing on her research into the physiological and behavioural foundations of adaptive learning and adolescent development, Prof. Christakou illustrates how interdisciplinary thinking is essential to understanding the human mind and brain.
This video is part of the CINNergies initiative – a community designed to support interdisciplinary collaboration and early career researchers across the human sciences.
