Physical therapists, biomechanists, aging experts to talk about how to fall safely + get back up again
I am writing a feature for National Geographic on the science of awe: how it affects the body and brain, and how people can add more of it into their daily lives.
I am looking for psychologists, neuroscientists, public health researchers, and related experts who can speak to:
The physiological and psychological effects of awe (stress, inflammation, mood, vagus nerve activity, etc.)
How awe can be experienced in everyday life, especially in nature, art, or human connection
Practical, evidence-based ways readers can build awe into daily routines
Responses should be science-based and accessible for a general audience. Email-only interviews preferred. My deadline for responses is Friday, September 12.
