He joined the #OriginsPodcast to discuss the space opened when we release ideologies that pit science and spirituality against one another, his life in that space, and to learn what implications this holds for our social lives--who we each are with and for each other

Zachary Ugolnik refuses the tired narrative about the separateness of science and spirituality, reason and religion. With him is wisdom for a society of care and flourishing, one that constellates across theology, ecology, and the social sciences

We recently at the Aspen Institute to talk about flourishing - what it is, how we assess it, and what it looks like to build a field of Flourishing Studies. TY @aspeninstitute.bsky.social for hosting us and to @aerosciengineer.bsky.social who has been convening these discussions in salons for years.

Few concepts are more important to our society than resilience. If resilience is a core competency of our time, it would not be hyperbole to say that Dr. David Woods is one of our most important thinkers.

Susan Magsamen
Your Brain on Art: Cultivating Flourishing Through Creativity
Susan will discuss the transformative power of art on the brain and its profound impact on human flourishing. Art enhances emotional well-being, cognitive function, and social connection. Her talk will explore how engaging with art-through painting, music, writing, or performance activates brain regions associated with reward, empathy, and resilience. Participants will gain insights into using creative expression to cultivate a flourishing life, promote mindfulness, and enhance well-being, with practical tips for integrating art into daily life.
Julie Demuth
The Fascinating Work of Integrating the Nonlinear, Chaotic, and Dynamic Atmospheric and
Social Systems
Julie will share the nonlinear, chaotic, and dynamic path that led her to become an interdisciplinarian, with degrees in atmospheric science and risk communication.
She'll then discuss how tackling some of the most critical but challenging problems facing science and society requires teams that deeply integrate diverse expertise.
Jennifer J. Wiseman
The Heavens Above Inspiring
Life Below
The world is unanimous about one thing: fascination with space. Jennifer will share some of the latest astronomical discoveries, and how a shared sense of awe and wonder from scientific discovery can build bridges between scientists, faith communities, and all people.
Dan Jay
ENFOLD Sci-Art: A Unicorn Breeding Farm for the 21st
Century
Dan will discuss the importance and urgency of merging art and science to address the planet's complex problems.
Drawing from his unique experience of having parallel, siloed careers in both fields that have recently converged, he will share insights on this interdisciplinary approach. He will also highlight his efforts to establish a nexus for the Sci-Art Community through the Burroughs Wellcome Fund's ENFOLD Sci-Art initiative.
What are the relationships among art, science, technology, and culture? How did these disciplines relate to one another to foster creativity, innovation, and discovery? What are the tangible results of these interactions? #iTeachMath
