Francesca Samsel is crafting a new language for our world. That is, she crosses art, science, and visualization to open new ways of understanding and engaging with the natural world, not just visually but across the sensorial spectrum.

(1/2) Malka Older ( @older.bsky.social ) makes a life at the crossroads of our existing and future worlds. Between the sociology of organizations and of disaster to speculative fiction, Older lives the great paradox in front of us all: to live at the nexus of lived experience and imagined future

(1/2) Dan Jay has spent his life in the liminal space between art and science, domains of inquiry too often considered separate, even opposing. Yet, it is transformative creativity only possible from the conversation between art and science that we seem to be called to now

(1/3) Jennifer Wiseman gives expression to our cosmos, as a pioneering astrophysicist, an advocate for science within policy and public, and a person of faith. She brings into conversation sensibilities of a scientist, a theologian, and a human being in awe of the universe

We recently at the Aspen Institute to talk about flourishing - what it is, how we assess it, and what it looks like to build a field of Flourishing Studies. TY @aspeninstitute.bsky.social for hosting us and to @aerosciengineer.bsky.social who has been convening these discussions in salons for years.
