Episode 21: Go get a dose of nature

I recently listened to a podcast featuring a prominent researcher in this area, Ming Kuo. I found it interesting that the genesis of her thinking about the positive effects of nature on humans was learning that zoo animals didn’t do well in environments that provided ample food, shelter and safety but lacked the natural features the animal evolved in. She wondered if the urbanized environment of humans could be having a similarly deleterious impact on our well being.
