Welcome to a new episode of Healing Futures, part of the Urban Health Council. This conversation is between neuroscientist and health activist Araceli Camargo, data ethics and facilitator Daniel Akinola-Odusola, and medical student and climate campaigner Amit Singh. It is based on a body of work being produced within the Urban Health Council on what it means for children to grow up in states of crisis. This project is not intended to alarm, but to put the child to old age health trajectory into the context of planetary dysregulation and its secondary effects. Currently, children are experiencing multiple stressors or pathways of poor health; forced displacement, family separation, pollution of water, land, and air, acute weather events, malnutrition, poverty, and a global pandemic that is causing long term effects. In June 2022 the Urban Health Council put out the following work [https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/growing-up-in-crisis] and through 2023 the Urban Health Council has been convening members of the public and practitioners for open roundtables about the topic. A little bit about Healing Futures: Healing Futures are various futures created by all Peoples in Kinship with Nature for equitable access to various healing practices and knowledges.

The intention of this audio project is to discuss the links between systems and imaginations rooted in supremacy, the dysregulation of planetary systems, and the poor health outcomes being experienced by peoples who are racialised and minoritised. We also aim to dismantle the individualised health narrative propagated by western medicine as it has been used to blame people for their poor health, which helps propagate health injustice. As we go through the audio story we will be using certain linguistic baselines *Nature and all living beings are referred to in a plural form as we are all ecosystems. We are all plural. **The use of the letter “s” at the end of words such as knowledges is to signify that Indigeneity is not a monolith and holds multiple cultures, thoughts, and knowledges. It also is inclusive of non-human knowledges. --- In this episode, Araceli Camargo will be providing a working definition of health, breaking down the factors of planetary dysregulation and the physiological links to health. -- LINKS Centric Lab | thecentriclab.com / https://twitter.com/TheCentricLab Araceli Camargo | https://twitter.com/aracelicamargo_ Joshua Artus | https://twitter.com/Josh_Artus Guppi Bola | https://twitter.com/guppikb Rhiannon Osborne | https://twitter.com/rhiannon_osborn https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/the-planetary-dysregulation https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-nature-health https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/health-as-ecological For more work on this topic please go to https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/
Welcome to our first audio report as part of the Healing Futures programme This is a discussion on the history of disease, part research and part discussion, between Araceli Camargo, Elahi Hossain, Hannah Yu-Pearson, and Rhiannon Osborne. When we look at the history of human health and disease, research suggests there have been three epidemiological transitions - that is, changes in the patterns of death and disease - across the human timeline. + The first transition was the age of pestilence and famine - this occurred around 10,000 years as human societies moved away from a nomadic, hunter gatherer lifestyle to embrace the agricultural revolution and form agrarian societies. + The second transition was the age of receding pandemic - which occurred in tandem with the industrial revolution. + The third transition is the age of degenerative and human-made diseases and ageing populations which we are currently within. And what's becoming clearer is that our modern environments are not suited to our biological architecture.

This episode features the team discussing our Urban Health Index, a visualisation tool for showing how areas compare for their levels of biological inequality. The conversation is led by Araceli Camargo who was the inventor of the tool alongside Elahi Hossain, our long standing researcher and author of the term biological inequality, and Dan Akinola-Odusola who led the development of the digital tool and all data analysis. We designed the urban health index to start giving data and evidence led answers to the health inequities that are rife in cities. It's there for policy makers, health professionals and built environment practitioners the insights they need to improve systemic health outcomes.

In this episode the Centric team come together to discuss the background, results and learnings from our recent study: COVID-19 & Biological Inequality; a London data study. For more information on the study please follow this link https://www.thecentriclab.com/covid-19-poverty-a-london-data-study The Centric team on this episode are: Araceli Camargo, Sarah Aliko, Daniel Akinola-Odusola, and Josh Artus. We're on a journey for Health Justice, using our research fields of neuroscience and cities to make change. Get in touch if you want to join our mission hello@thecentriclab.com.
Episode 16 is with Sam Markey, who as the Future Cities Catapult's Head of Executive Office commissioned the ‘Neuroscience for Cities’ playbook, and it’s lead author our very own Araceli Camargo who is head of R&D for Centric. The purpose of this session was to invite them on to explain in their own words why such a venture was taken and where it’s direction lies. A first of its kind, the ‘Neuroscience for Cities Playbook’ is a close collaboration between Future Cities Catapult, Centric Lab and University College London. It brings forward a framework of how neuroscience research can be put into practice in cities. This has been presented as a set of new tools, methodologies and strategies for organisations big and small, to adopt neuroscience insights into their supply chain. ------- For further contact; Sam's twitter handle: @SamMarkey Araceli's twitter handle: @aracelicamargo_ A direct link for the 20% discount to CityX is - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cityx-the-future-cities-expo-cityx2018-tickets-47911784437?discount=NeuroCitiesDiscount.

Thanks and if you do have the time please do give us a review on iTunes. ------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: ------------------------------------------- In 2017 we started conversations with the Future Cities Catapult, a UK government related organisation that are on mission to advance urban innovation, to grow UK companies, to make cities better. They were interested in whether neuroscience is a field of research that can be a new evidence base and tool kit to make cities better. Sticking to their mission of bringing together businesses and universities to solve the problems that cities face, we were commissioned alongside our partners at University college London to produce a document on its potential. What started out as a report, became a playbook. The playbook is there to give agency to practitioners to take into account more nuances of how the built environment effects experience. It is primarily set to establish what is the role of neuroscience in the built environment, where its limitations are, where its opportunities are right now, a framework for use but also where it’s going in the future.

Natalie Campbell hosts a live Future Visions panel discussion on Artificial Intelligence and the future of work from THECUBE London. Following on from the first series of Future Visions we asked you, the listeners, to tell us what you wanted us to focus on next. The number of responses we received was overwhelming, with the vast majority keen to understand how the rise of AI would impact our lives. To help us answer this question we invited three of the stars of the first series to share their thoughts; Araceli Camargo (cognitive neuroscientist, lab director at The Centric Lab and co-founder of TheCUBE London), Ben Hammersley (British internet technologist, journalist, author, broadcaster and futurist) and Tracey Follows (award-winning futurist and regular commentator on the future of AI, gender, work and culture). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Natalie Campbell explores the thoughts of Araceli Camargo – an entrepreneur and cognitive neuroscientist who believes artificial intelligence could spell a new chapter in human development. But are we heading towards utopia or something much more sinister? And how can we prepare for more imminent changes to the jobs market? We hear from robotics expert Nick Hawes, education specialist Professor Rose Luckin, and neo-luddite author Kirkpatrick Sale. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
