About this event
Loneliness, often experienced as distress in response to discrepancies between desired and actual social relationships or lack thereof, is becoming a growing public concern. Research shows that loneliness is associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes across the lifespan. This lecture and conversation will explore risk factors including those that may be unique to the culture of the biomedical research community and ways to reduce loneliness at both the individual and community level.
