In this mini-seminar, we will explore recent scientific research relating to human health and happiness. The first session will cover the wide-reaching effects of stress on the body, and some simple ways we can combat stress to alleviate these effects. The second session will focus on the various ways that our gut microbiome affects our mental and physical health, and we will sample some foods that can help foster a healthy gut community. Both sessions will involve presentation, discussion, and experiential learning.

Discussion led by Sarah Bartos Smith, Environmental Studies, Institute for Writing and Rhetoric
