Our partner network, the Network for Emotional Well-Being, hosted a workshop, New Perspectives on the Biology of Emotional Well-Being: Illuminating the Unseen, at the University of California, San Francisco last November.

This dynamic event brought together leading experts exploring emotional well-being through diverse biological lenses, including genomics, the microbiome, mitochondria, and brain plasticity.
