1 . At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn’t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven’t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories —subjectivities —into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centres around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren’t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome’s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.

10 . Hello, everyone! What is the true definition(定义) of Healthy Living? It sounds silly that we need to define Healthy Living. After all, we know what “Health” is and we also know what “Living” is. So today, let’s start by discussing what “Health” is.
Interestingly enough, health is not simply defined as just living without disease. The real definition of Healthy Living is the steps, actions and plans one puts in place to achieve the best possible health. Healthy Living is about making smart health choices for today and for the future. Eating right, getting fit and keeping a good emotional(情感的) condition are all part of creating healthy life. Since the whole of YOU, that is, all parts of yourself, must work in harmony together, you need to put balanced energy into each part of yourself.
The body or Physical： You need good nutrition(营养), proper weight, enough exercise and rest and proper stress management.
The mind of Emotional：You need correct thoughts and a proper self-image. You also need to give and receive love; you need to experience happiness and you need joyful relationships with yourself and others.
The Spiritual：You need inner calmness, openness to your creativity, and trust in your inner knowing. For some it needs having a relationship with a higher power.
Well, we all know when the body is out of balance, our body tells us right away. We might feel tired, catch a cold or become ill more often, but, believe it or not, we can also tell when the Emotional You is similarly out of balance.
