"Preaching dogma in the name of science is a dagger at the heart of society"
Àlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. Since 2016, he is the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante, Spain. Combining experimental, computational and theoretical neurophysics, his current research deals with human minds in the real world, concentrating on what he calls “the edges of consciousness”.
Alex seeks to enact a kind of intellectual activism that brings a third leg to the “science stool”: apart from solid replicable data and deep imaginative theories, he sees the need to nurture the socio-political milieu that makes science possible.
