With the increase in vaccinated people, we now have the potential for more in-person connection than we’ve been used to during the pandemic. As we take cautious steps forward into less certain territory with variants like Delta & Omicron, many have questions about what being back in classrooms and offices will look like.  How can I manage my role in the health and wellbeing of my family, friends and co-workers?

Science Sam addresses the science behind vaccines and of managing anxiety, as well as an opportunity for an interactive session to ask questions in a judgement free zone.

As both a neuroscientist and someone who has always had anxiety, in this talk Dr. Samantha Yammine navigates what happens in our brains when we’re anxious, and how to manage the transition to more in person connections, including back to school and in-office.

Sample Key takeaways:

1. A current understanding of the COVID landscape
