Come learn about your brain and how nature can work to your advantage!\nThere is a surprising connection between mind\, body\, and the natural environment that’s been the subject of scientific study. Marc Berman\, PhD is founder and director of the Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Chicago. He will discuss his new book\, Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive\, Physical\, and Social Well-Being\, and how interactions with nature impact your energy\, mood\, focus\, and mental and physical health. \nWednesday\, Oct. 8\, 2025 at 6:30pm \nNotebaert Nature Museum\, 2430 N Cannon Dr.\, Chicago\, IL 60614 (map) \nTickets are $10 at BrainAndNature.eventbrite.com \nMarc G.
