Does mindfulness alter the mind? The impact meditation has on our brains.

From Science in the News’ website:

Science by the Pint is a free science café in which we invite a Boston-area research lab out to a pub or brewery to chat science over a cold one. Our speaker will give a brief overview of her/his research and answer audience questions. After that, the rest of the lab (grad students, postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, etc.) will rotate around the tables to have small-group, informal conversations about what they’re working on. The events are geared toward a general audience – all are welcome and no experience is necessary!
