.@UpaliNanda calls out 3 challenges to integrating art & science of being in design:
1) Representation: crisis of what is time & place today? What is presence?
2) Incentive to measure intent vs outcome
3) disciplinary arrogance — we need a new interdisciplinary lexicon

Counting carbon but not health when it comes to building decarbonization? Do both!
--> CoBE quantifies health and climate impacts
--> available to public for first time
--> it projects impacts/benefits out to 2050

The core question of identity is not who others think you should be. It's who you aspire to be.
70 studies: Mental health depends more on living up to your ideals than to others' expectations.
Closing the gap between your actions and your values is a source of well-being.
I've never liked the word "post-occupancy" because, as my friend Dr. Casey Lindberg says, there is nothing "post" about occupancy. Instead, we should think of #occupancyoutcomes as a constant, continuous, non-negotiable part of #design that links to #outcomes.

HKS is speaking tomorrow at the UNGA78 Brain Capital event! Our very own @UpaliNanda is joining a panel titled, Brain Capital and the Built Environment. Register to join us virtually and learn more ⏩ hks.onl/455Fsed @ScienceUnga #sciencesummitunga #globalsciencex #design
Very relevant for #healthbydesign and #workbydesign. Thank you
Studies on the role of background music for sake of learning and attention show varied results but collectively show that if your goal is focus and information retention then working in silence > purely instrumental music > music w/lyrics… BUT that listening to music during brief (5-20min) breaks between cognitive tasks (done in silence) is best.
