Episode notes

I've been fascinated by the idea of people are on obsidens of the spectrum. There are studies that show that taking even a 20 minute walk in nature can significantly lower stress. It allows us to become more aware of our own what's called proprioception, which is awareness of our body's movement through space. We lose that when we're sitting in front of a screen looking at two dimensional stimuli.

Gloria Mark is Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine.
