Dr Benjamin Martin
Benjamin is an Academic Research Doctor, with backgrounds in academic engineering and both academic and clinical medicine. He is currently conducting scientific investigation into how natural environments impact human health and wellbeing. This involves use of physiological makers to assess wellbeing and mass spectrometry to quantify environmental characteristics with a range of local and international collaborators. The evidence generated will support green prescribing and nature recovery both locally and globally. Outside work, Ben facilitates community groups to improve wellbeing, and maintains an organic garden at home.
