It's time again for a return to school and all the lovely obligations that come with student life. Thus, STEMS and leaves will be detouring from interviews for a bit and focus on sharing some snapshot stories about all sorts of things. This episode, we dig into some interesting research from Caroline Chen - a postdoc researcher at UC San Diego. Chen published 'Designing the Danceable City: How Residents in Beijing Cultivate Health and Community Ties Through Urban Dance'  that explores the phenomena of urban dance in China. Chen set out to learn why and where urban dance is happening and how this movement might be relevant to American planning. We unpack a few interesting points in this shorter episode, but of course recommend reviewing the paper for the fullest experience.
