🔍 Unlocking Brain Health with Dr. Upali Nanda ULI Singapore extends its heartfelt thanks to HKS, Inc. for hosting the Breakfast Chat on "Brains, Bodies, and the Biosphere" at their newly relocated office at The Quadrant. Upali Nanda, PhD, Executive Director and Global Sector Director for Innovation at HKS, provided an eye-opening discussion on the critical role a healthy environment plays in promoting brain health, which ultimately leads to better decision-making for both people and the planet. During the session, Dr. Nanda offered ground-breaking insights into why our brains struggle to take climate change seriously - highlighting that it’s easier for us to change our minds about climate issues than to change our habits. The session concluded with powerful takeaways: making places personal again by strengthening the emotional bond between people and spaces; uniting climate scientists, human scientists, and designers to create environments that enhance brain health; and the importance of investing in brain health. A special thanks to Angela Lee, FAIA, ACHA, LEED AP, EDAC, Managing Director, APAC, Europe & Middle East, and Partner at HKS, for making this enriching experience possible. Dr. Nanda’s wisdom has sparked meaningful conversations on how we can design environments that support thriving, brain-healthy communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
