Rhythm and Reason brings together jazz music and science as we celebrate the way that music affects our brains and bodies. Each month we explore a different topic with a guest scientist from Columbia University, combined with music from New York based and inaugural Zuckerman Institute Jazz Artist-in-Residence, jazz pianist Helen Sung. Join us to listen and move with the music, and maybe learn something new!

May’s guest scientist is the Zuckerman Institute’s Dr. Paula Croxson. Dr. Croxson is an expert in the neuroscience of memory, including how our autobiographical memories are formed and lost.

Rhythm and Reason is a collaboration between the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute.
