We are delighted to announce that Cornelius Gross, Interim Head of EMBL Rome, has joined the Earth, Brain and Health Commission. In partnership with Nature Mental Health, the commission aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of world-class leaders to develop cutting edge and cross-disciplinary research approaches to understand how complex environmental factors impact our mental health. Following an initial meeting in September, the commission will identify methods to best organise and disseminate complex scientific knowledge across fields and determine how best to use these findings to establish actionable solutions to enhance human mental and physical brian health across the globe.
