Wendy Ingram and Mental Health in Academia

Wendy Ingram knew that a way to make a difference was through addressing a topic few discuss: mental health in academia. Through her own experiences and personal tragedy, Wendy, along with a team of volunteers, created the organization Dragonfly Mental Health. Through online services as well as consulting services, Dragonfly helps academics and academic organizations improve individual and organizational mental wellness. We talk about the creation of Dragonfly, her work with zombie insects, academia being the original Instagram, and how to create a 'heart space' at work.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
