What Nature Can Do for Your Brain (and Your Brain Can Do for Nature)

Susan Masino is the Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of Applied Science at Trinity College. She is a neuroscientist, and her research into adenosine, the ketogenic diet, and their links to treating seizures as well as other disorders is well-known. Masino’s parallel work looks at brain health and natural areas, especially our current or future old-growth forests. This work might be lesser known but is critically important to climate stabilization and human health.
