Simon G. Fabri, to THINK! An engineer by profession, Fabri is currently Professor with the Department of Systems and Control Engineering as well as Pro-Rector for Research and Knowledge Transfer. He has been instrumental in bringing this edition on Emotional WellBeing to life! You’re stuck in traffic despite your best efforts to leave early. Your hands grip the steering wheel tightly, and you clench your teeth in frustration. You grow indignant at the terrible road design; the motorist ahead of you has their hand dangling out of the window, and even that annoys you. Your mind begins racing, each impression riling you up further, your train of thought hijacked by anger.

It may seem like we are overcomplicating and romanticising this process in equal measure, but understanding how this matter moves through our environment is an immensely complicated and important process for us to understand. From aerodynamics to public health, understanding how air and matter move through the world does matter to us, because it affects the behaviour of flying aircraft and the spread of airborne pollutants, just to give a few examples!

Why do we, as a species, instinctively form communities or tribes? In a broad sense, humans are social animals, and coming together as a tribe allows us to socialise, share food and information, and perhaps rally behind a common identity or unite against a common danger.
