Example Sentences

Katherine Boere is a neuroscience doctoral candidate at the University of Victoria.

“This all started with our walking meetings,” said Katherine Boere, a neuroscience doctoral candidate at the University of Victoria, who led the neurological study of green exercise.

Boere suspected the woody walks were more productive than staying inside but wanted confirmation.

But the walks in many past studies lasted for 30 minutes or more, while Boere’s peripatetic meetings were half that long.

Students concentrated better and responded faster, results that accord with scientific ideas about how nature affects our minds, Boere said.
