UAB Green and Told

On this episode of UAB Green and Told, we are joined by Dr. Read Montague, a research professor at Virginia Tech University and a 1988 alumnus of UAB. As he reveals, his life was full of twists and turns, including pivoting from his plan to be a physician in the early stages of his UAB experience. Now, as he will explain, he takes a look at why we make the decisions we do, no matter the avenue, including in politics. Plus, Dr. Montague will delve into research of a sort of neuro-law, blending law...with science.
