Creative Aging: Finding memory and connection through art and nature.
In this discussion we explore the spiritual, emotional, physical, and neurological effects of nature through practical examples of programs developed for those with memory loss, dementia, and their care partners. Hear from experts from Microsoft Design, Frye Art Museum and the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center. We've explored how the principles of inclusive design were applied in the development of these programs and provided suggestions to leverage nature as an antidote to the perils of everyday life during a pandemic.

What is the Science of Taste? | Eat Smart with Dr. Peter Klosse and Adam Brumberg
