The best podcasts about Science for Design

Who am I?

I'm Meredith, Part Scientist, Part Designer and host of the Science + Design microlearning podcast series. My background in archeology helped me to understand connections between people and place. Archeology is really just doing architecture in reverse order: archeologists study physical artifacts and building ruins to understand the people and the cultures who built them. Architects study people to understand what physical environments can best support their behaviors and cultures. After earning my professional degree in Architecture, I joined the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA) where I trained in a neuroscience laboratory, and developed workshops bringing together architects and neuroscientists to cultivate a new discipline. Neuroscience evidence helps us understand how our brains and behaviors are influenced by the built environment. By applying this knowledge to design, we can create places which promote health, wellbeing, performance and inclusivity.
