The National Science Museum announced that it will hold the third lecture of the “Exceptional Science Lectures” series on March 15 at 2 p.m. in the Science Hall. This special lecture will feature Professor Jae-seung Jeong of KAIST, a leading authority in the field of neuroscience, who will discuss the topic “Feel Good Code: The Neuroscience Mechanism for Designing Happiness.”
The “Exceptional Science Lectures,” planned by the National Science Museum, is a regular program held on the third Saturday of each month to promote science and technology culture. It is designed to communicate the fun of science that permeates everyday life by having popular experts answer scientific questions in an easy-to-understand manner.
This March’s lecture will explore how happiness is created and maintained in the brain from a neuroscience perspective. Professor Jeong is expected to introduce scientific mechanisms on how our brain designs happiness, from trivial everyday moments to critical life choices. Beyond simple theories, he aims to offer neuroscientific insights applicable to real life, providing audiences the keys to design their own happiness.
Kwon Seok-min, director of the National Science Museum, emphasized the significance of this lecture by stating, “We aim to establish this as a cultural platform that provides high-quality scientific literacy suitable for an era of science and technology innovation, offering dreams and hopes through science and technology.”
Participation in the “Exceptional Science Lectures” can be reserved in advance through the National Science Museum website (www.science.go.kr) on a first-come, first-served basis, and on-site registration is possible if there are remaining seats.
This lecture is expected to provide a fresh approach to scientifically unraveling the concept of happiness as science becomes a part of daily life and a roadmap for solving life’s questions.
