MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience

Posted by on Monday, September 26, 2011 in Launch.

Law and Neuroscience NetworkThis new site and its partner site about law and neuroscience at Vanderbilt showcase the work of Vanderbilt researchers involved in the groundbreaking field of neurolaw. Funded with a $4.85 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the new network brings together brain imaging, neuroscience and legal scholarship to explore  the genesis of crime and how this information can be used to shape the criminal justice system. We worked with network director Owen Jones, one of the nation’s few professors of both law and biology, administrative assistant Sarah Grove and legal scholar Francis Shen (who has since left Vanderbilt for Tulane University) to build a visually compelling site that would serve as a platform to showcase the research of the network, which includes researchers from across the country.

The new sites are powered by OmniUpdate.
