In this thoughtful segment from a panel on Science Meets Spirituality, Dr. Scarlet Soriano and Dr. Katy Hinman reflect on the lived experience of transcendent awareness and its very real physiological and emotional effects. Dr. Soriano, drawing from both her spiritual paradigm and medical expertise, describes how inner harmony and compassion transform not only the mind and body but also our day-to-day health. Dr. Hinman adds a powerful personal account of connection with nature, highlighting how spiritual meaning often arises not from shared beliefs, but from shared experiences. Together, they illuminate how spirituality and science can meet — not in answers, but in presence.

The panelists are:
Dr. Scarlet Soriano, Executive Director at Duke Health & Well-Being, whose work focuses on the development of equity-based and community-grounded health and well-being interventions;

and Dr. Katy Hinman is the Director of Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER) program at the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),
