#1 Best Selling Author of "The Connected Species: How the evolution of the human brain can save the world".

I am a world-renowned neuroscientist and I have presented to audiences all over the world. I love to get the audience thinking deeply about who they are and what they can achieve by explaining the true potential of their brain. I have entertained and informed audiences of all age groups from young kids to company directors and everything in between. 

I have worked with thousands of students, teachers, health professionals, and company directors keen to understand how their brain works, how to perform optimally and maintain a healthy brain. I regularly run programs on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions, how to hack your habits, how our brains create our reality, and the impact of modern technologies on our brains. 

I have an extensive academic background in brain research and teaching. I am a professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years of experience conducting behavioural and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills. I have taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of students, as well as published more than 70 scientific articles. I have worked at MIT in the USA and multiple universities in Australia. 

I draw on my extensive scientific background to work with schools, companies, and the public to develop evidence-based practices using neuroscience to enhance our education, work, and personal lives. I have appeared in the media both locally [e.g., The Project, Mirror Mirror (Ten), Catalyst (ABC), Making Australia Happy (ABC), SkyNews] and internationally [e.g., The Guardian (UK), New York Times (USA), Economist, New Scientist, Leading Edge, (BBC: UK), World at One (BBC Lonon), Science in Action (BBC; International)].
