Eating mindfully can help us connect better with our feelings of hunger and fullness, as well as the simple joy of eating. We invite you to try this brief mini-meditation before eating, which only takes a few minutes. Enjoy!

In this podcast, we are joined by Lamare, an MSc Human Resource Management graduate. After studying his undergraduate degree, he realised that to really stand out in his career he needed more.

Studying part-time around his day job was a challenge. But he was also faced with the worry that he might not fit in. That as a black male from a non-traditional family, with little experience of higher education, there would be no one else like him on the course. Fortunately, the people at UWE Bristol were from a mix of cultures and diverse backgrounds, and he had a really positive experience here.

He talks us through the challenges he has overcome and why it was the best decision he ever made.

“I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn’t studied my master’s at UWE Bristol.” Lamare.

In episode four of Science Chatters, we return with an exploration of research coming out of UWE Bristol looking at how gaming and social media can affect our wellbeing...perhaps even in a positive way, before stepping outside to discover research which shows just how important the natural world is to us all.
