Season Two | Ep. 1, Part 2: A Crash Course in Altruism with Neuroscientist Abigail Marsh

As a young adult early in her collegiate career, Abigail Marsh experienced life-altering altruism first-hand. That interaction sparked the question that has fueled much of her research ever since -- “why would a stranger risk their life for me like that?” In this episode, host and kidney donor Michael Lollo speaks with world-renowned neuroscientist, psychologist and professor Abigail Marsh to discuss different types of altruism and dive into the connection between altruism and living kidney donation.

Very useful discussion- especially about the negative reactions. Thanks for confirming my experience!

Dr. Marsh, You mentioned donors with ASD. I’m curious about this because I’m hoping to give undesignated donation and I think I’m on the tail end of the spectrum. I noticed that one of the family members who understands my desire to do this is also on the spectrum. Have you seen any correlation at all?
