(1/2) Dan Jay has spent his life in the liminal space between art and science, domains of inquiry too often considered separate, even opposing. Yet, it is transformative creativity only possible from the conversation between art and science that we seem to be called to now

(1/3)
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

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.
