Thanks for visiting! We are primarily sciencing these days at sbs.ethz.ch and rich-ramsey.com - we're keeping this website around for legacy reasons- for now at least!
The Social Brain in Action Lab moved to ETH Zurich in glorious Switzerland in 2023. It is based within the Department of Humanities, Social & Political Sciences (D-GESS) and the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST). With the newly-minted Professorship for Social Brain Sciences at ETH, we are mostly keeping the SBS website up to date, while this SoBA Lab website tends to be less current. We also have several lab members and collaborators continuing to work on projects at Bangor University in North Wales, University of Glasgow in Scotland, and Macquarie University in Australia. Science is global, and SoBA Lab science is too!

A year on from the seismic events that spurred our lab to spend time actively engaging with and reflecting on our roles and resposibilities for promoting social equality, the SoBA Lab held a provocative, stimulating and constructive lab meeting assess what we've been learning and what actions we want to take to make further progress in this area, both as individuals and as a lab. Please visit our our social equality page for our ongoing thinking and updates about our discussions and actions in this domain.
