Dear Nature and Health Community –
As the year draws to a close, our small team paused to reflect on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and where we’re heading next.
Since 2016, the Center has been hosting symposia to bring together researchers, community members, and decision-makers to learn about new discoveries, discuss new policies and programs, and advance partnerships in the field of nature and health.
In this new chapter, Dr. Bratman—Nature and Health’s co-director—explores the fundamentals of the field of environmental neuroscience and discusses some of the mechanisms through which natural environments may affect brain processing.
With your support, we can better understand how nature affects human health, how to best leverage these benefits, and how to implement policies that make nature more accessible to all communities.
Sign up for our mailing list to learn about upcoming programs and new research.
