The Nature Fix: Your Brain on Nature

The Nature Fix: Your Brain on Nature – Why Being Outside Makes Us Feel Happier, Healthier, and More Creative

Florence Williams, a nationally acclaimed journalist and author, will present the latest evidence on the science behind why nature is good for us, from cognition to mental health. She incorporates reporting and research from around the world, from Japan to Scotland to Singapore to Utah, for insights into how being nature changes our brains and physiologies. What constitutes exposure to nature? What is the dose for optimal benefit and how are doctors and patients medicalizing time in parks? What she learned holds many lessons for interacting with the natural world in good times and bad.
