Friends,
As many people are planning alternative ways to celebrate major holidays over the weekend and coming weeks, we hope you are all finding ways to stay connected to your communities. If you’re looking for a distance learning opportunity that might help you weather these difficult times, Yale’s most popular class ever, The Science of Well Being, is now available for free online.
In solidarity,
