Posting about events only after they happen feels like showing off. Let's announce before to include more people-both in person and online. Let’s move away from exclusive academic culture and make space for everyone. #InclusiveAcademia #CommunityMatters #EventAccessibility

interesting,not surprising. Lot of EBD studies connect watching/being in nature to positive health outcomes. Did not read this study, there are certainly many epistemological and scientific problems and issues. I will talk about it soon at this talk: ihpst.pantheonsorbonne.fr/evenements/s...
