July 2009 – Tibetan monks and nuns in Dharamsala, India, recently used Neurons in Action 2, co-authored by Professor Ann Stuart and Duke Professor Emeritus John Moore, to learn neurophysiology in a course taught by Emory professors (the Emory Tibet Science Initiative). One of the professors, Dieter Jaeger, wrote “NIA2 was a big success with the monks and nuns…Some monks took it home to their monastery so there is no telling how big a hit it will be!”
The Dalai Lama has long advocated that science, especially neuroscience, be taught in Tibetan monasteries and schools in exile.
