From Oprah Daily | May 21, 2025

Turns out, play isn’t just for kids—it’s a science-backed way for adults to spark joy, connection, and creativity. GGSC Science Director Emiliana Simon-Thomas talks about the importance of finding little things to do as adults that can spark emotions like happiness, awe, and amusement in a feature from The Oprah Daily.

“The Greater Good Science Center is a tremendous resource for educators seeking to learn about the latest research and to understand how to apply it in practical ways to their work in schools.”
