While there is no charge for this online event, please register in advance here. Our guest speaker this month is Jared Hanley, co-founder and CEO of NatureQuant, an Oregon-based company that develops tools to measure and improve the health benefits of nature. Its patented technologies, NatureScore® and NatureDose®, quantify environmental features and track individual nature exposure, promoting nature as a measurable health behavior. In this talk we will explore how NatureQuant is transforming the way we measure, understand, and apply “nature” as both a health driver and an economic variable. At the core of this work are several innovative technologies — including NatureScore, NatureDose, the Urban Heat Index, and the Tree Value of Statistical Lives which together quantify the quality and impact of natural environments. Our speaker will introduce how NatureQuant leverages machine learning models to combine environmental conditions with human exposure patterns, and create a data-driven understanding of both the natural spaces around us and the time people actually spend in them.

Have a story to tell or an audience you’ve been meaning to build? This hands-on workshop gets you up and running on Substack — a powerful platform that puts your writing directly in readers’ inboxes, no algorithm required. No Substack yet? We’ll build one together — name, bio, and theme. Then we’ll write and publish your first post, so you leave with something real already out in the world. We’ll cover everything from setting up your account and optimizing your profile to writing, formatting, and publishing your first post. We’ll also explore Substack Notes — the platform’s built-in feature for short-form posts that reach new readers without ever leaving Substack. The secret? It’s less about broadcasting and more about genuine conversation. This workshop is ideal for anyone ready to build a direct relationship with an audience. Just bring your laptop and an idea. We’ll handle the rest! San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

These interactions are often deeply emotional and can be profoundly healing, offering participants a rare experience of unconditional paternal support. PCWAD offers Dad allies a fun, meaningful way to support the community in San Diego. Visit: Play Catch With A Dad Volunteers Play Catch with a Dad on Facebook
