Julia Galef of the Center for Applied Rationality and author of ‘The Scout Mindset’
Daniel Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and the author of ‘Cognition and Raising Kids who Read’
Producers: Imogen Walford and Joe Kent
Think with Pinker is produced in partnership with The Open University.
