Outreach Talk – L Roman Carrasco Torrecilla

On nature, selfies, frisbee, windows, #fun and happiness

Speaker:
Associate Professor Carrasco Torrecilla, L Roman  

Synopsis:
In fast-paced, highly populated, and now COVID-19-stressed cities like Singapore, nature experiences can be an effective ‘medicine’ for mental and physical health. Understanding how nature experiences can contribute to wellbeing can help us design our City in Nature.

In this talk, I will share our research on using mobile phones to check whether people go to the jungle even when it is hot, whether living near a certain type of park can turn us into a frisbee ace, whether nature is the spice of life, whether we are happy as a lark when we can see nature through our bedroom window and what do we have in the background of our selfies when we are having #fun.
