Claudia will take us on a tour of the newest thinking on The Science of Wellbeing with insights from psychologists from the University of Sussex: Professor Sam Cartwright Hatton, Dr Dan Campbell-Meiklejohn and Professor Gilly Forrester.

The panel will chat about everything from tips on how to reduce the transfer of anxiety from parents to children… to what happens in our brains when we feel the warm glow of kindness… to how we can know how gorillas and chimpanzees are feeling. Enjoy an evening of cutting-edge science just for adults with an interactive Q&A.
