Program
The Dana Foundation supports the Royal Society’s Neuroscience and the Law program, providing seminars and courses for judges, lawyers, and scientists in the UK to explore the benefits and risks of applying neuroscience to the judicial process. Outcomes include the design of educational materials intended to improve judges’ use and consideration of science in managing cases involving scientific and technological evidence worldwide. The program contributes to global efforts based on initiatives in the US and UK that help equip judges to engage with experts on issues such as genetics, neuroforensics, and disease causation.
