Led By Dr Sophie Potter, the overarching aim of this lab is to understand and promote human well-being through interdisciplinary research, mixed-methodologies, and engagement with public, policymakers, and industry partners. This includes examining whether and how our understanding and experience of well-being changes in different contexts, from early life to old age, disability, illness, the environment, and beyond.  

Led by Dr Emily Messer, the Lab focuses on child development. This includes those using developmental research methods, those working in developmental science, and those targeting young people for engagement activities. Child development is an essential aspect of human life, shaped and influenced by the environment. Studying child development and including young people in scientific dissemination is crucial for understanding research across the lifespan, individual contributions to broader society, industry, and economic growth, and for providing insights into policy development and change.
