The Robert H.N. Ho Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative's 2025-2026 speaker series "Biased Minds, Biased Brains, Biased Behaviors" continues with a lecture by Anne Fausto-Sterling, the Nancy Duke Lewis Professor Emerita of Biology and Gender Studies at Brown University.

Professor Fausto-Sterling is a leading expert in biology and gender development. Her theoretical innovation, dynamic systems theory, explains how cultural difference becomes bodily difference. By applying a dynamic systems approach to the study of human development, her work exposes the flawed premise of the nature versus nurture debate.
