On Wired for Hope we explore the brain, behaviour, and mental health with people who have lived with brain injury and those who have studied it.

I'm Dr. Jess, an NHS clinical psychologist in the UK, university lecturer, and published author, passionate about making neuroscience more accessible.

We’ll explore a range of topics from sports related concussion, to feminist perspectives on disability, and mental health and identity.

We’ll also shine a light on some of the latest research from around the world, in our regular feature ‘what’s new in neuroscience’.

Subscribe today to join the Wired for hope podcast community and learn with me.
