"There is no better resource that I know of to help neuroscientists translate idiosyncratic jargon into easy-to-understand language in the courtroom." -- Robert L. Heilbronner, PhD, ABPP-CN, Chicago Neuropsychology Group, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University "Whether you are new to testifying or an experienced expert, Postal's Testimony That Sticks has your back. If you read this book carefully, you are not going to be out on a scientific island in court, as you will have both the science and the lore on your side. This book lifts you out of the academic mindset and helps you actually communicate the science so that it sticks in the jurors' minds. A wonderful read and a most helpful book!" -- Michael D. Chafetz, PhD, ABPP, Algiers Neurobehavioral Resource, New Orleans, LA
