In honor of National Mental Health Awareness Month, the Union of Concerned Scientists and our partners at the Environmental Protection Network are excited to launch MindLab, a weekly mindfulness space designed to support well-being of scientists and those who advance science.
In this time of heightened uncertainty, political pressure, and burnout, MindLab offers practical, science-based techniques to help scientists and science advocates to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate uncertainty with greater clarity and calm.
Each 30-minute session will include a quick dive into the science of mindfulness; a short, guided mindfulness practice; and Q&A if time allows. Sessions are organized by Dr. Lena Adams Kim, who spent more than 15 years working for the US Environmental Protection Agency and has a PhD in educational psychology.
These sessions are open to all scientists, public servants, and science supporters. You do not need to attend every session in order to register.
This is a weekly radio show & podcast produced by a team of KAS members & volunteers - catch it every Mon 7:30pm, Tue 11:30am, Wed 7:30am at forwardradio.org or at 106.5 FM in Louisville
Hosted by Dave Robinson, Amanda Fuller, Scott Miller, Leslie Moise, Ashley Best, Trent Garrison, Jon Dixon and the rest of the Bench Talk Team.
