@helenezillig.bsky.social presents her research at the #ENLIGHTConference2025!
She merged over 1,400 nighttime visits to #BlueSpaces with satellite data measuring Artificial Light at Night ( #ALAN) to explore how the brightness of a location relates to perceived #safety and #wellbeing. 🌃

Named after the 10 other Work Packages (WPs) in the #RESONATE Project, WP11 does not provide us with data on nature-based therapies but can nonetheless teach us what is means to work together and care for our surrounding #environment. 💚

Bio-psycho-social #Resilience: Can #Nature Strengthen Us?
The short answer: Yes! ✅
The long answer? That’s where research comes in – as Valentina Hampejs explained in her recent talk at the Planetarium in Vienna as part of the VHS-Science Program. 🧪

Anja Heske re-joined the team in March as a #PhD student. In her dissertation, she will explore how nature might benefit close personal relationships, working closely with the RESONATE project to investigate how natural environments might not only build individual, but also relational #resilience. 🌱

Hi, I'm Neline, and over the past few months I've had the opportunity to complete an internship with the EnvPsy group at the University of Vienna. 💼
My main takeaway: Research does not have to be abstract. It can have real impact when it comes to understanding nature as a resource for health. 🧠 🌱
