Today we’re joined by California-based alumna, Dr. Parneet Pal. Parneet attended medical school in India at the age of 17 and has followed her passion for learning and teaching throughout her time at the University of Oregon and beyond. Parneet is Chief Science Officer of Wisdom Labs, a Bay Area based company focused on lessening stress, burnout, and loneliness in the workplace. She says research shows that compassion actually makes us healthier, and companies do better when their employees are compassionate. Parneet continues to foster interdisciplinary health innovation as a TEDMED Scholar, and she recently lead a workshop at the TEDx Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, where she gave a talk about the environment and sustainability.
Caitlin Elwood will be conducting today’s interview. She’s the Associate Director of Regional Engagement at the University of Oregon. Their conversation ranges from the science of wellbeing, the necessity of compassion, benefits of a planet-based diet, and much more.
Keep in touch!
