Topics

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a two-day virtual workshop that explored the biological mechanisms of empathy and compassion. Workshop participants examined the factors that influence the development of empathy and compassion, their role in brain health, and their potential to inform future medical treatments. The workshop brought together leaders from multiple disciplines to discuss how understanding empathy's biological mechanisms could have broader applications in areas like workplace practices, artificial intelligence, and education.
