James Watson: 21st century will be the brain-biology century

Posted by samir

James Watson was on Charlie Rose last night. He made some very interesting points:

  • In the 21st century, psychology will finally become a science
  • The genetics of psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder etc. is not understood at all, and very little investment is going into these fields
  • We need a fight against psychological disorders on the same scale as the fight against cancer
  • A lot has been learned in the fight against cancer (from the billions spent), and a cure for cancer seems to be closer than ever
