- Marine scientist and ocean advocate Wallace "J." Nichols explores the neuroscience of our brains on nature, and posits that our love of the natural world holds the key to preserving it.
This TEDxSantaCruz talk is one of 22 surrounding our theme of "Activate" at the third full-day TEDxSantaCruz event held March 8, 2014 at the Hotel Paradox in Santa Cruz, CA. www.tedxsantacruz.org/
Dr. Wallace "J." Nichols is a scientist, ocean advocate, community organizer, author, and dad. He takes a slow, collaborative approach with leaders in businesses, government, non-profits, and academia to inspire a deeper connection with nature. Sometimes through adventures, or simply by walking and talking. Other times through writing, images, and art. Science and knowledge can also stoke our fires. But he knows that what really moves people is feeling part of and touching something bigger than ourselves. J. is a Research Associate at California Academy of Sciences and co-founder of OceanRevolution.org, an international network of young ocean advocates, SEEtheWILD.org, a conservation travel network, GrupoTortuguero.org, an international sea turtle conservation network, and LiVBLUE.org, a global campaign to reconnect us to our water planet. He has authored and co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and reports and his work has been broadcast on NPR, BBC, PBS, National Geographic and Animal Planet and featured in Time, Newsweek, GQ, Outside Magazine, Fast Company, Scientific American, and New Scientist, among others. J. lives with his partner Dana, two daughters and some cats, dogs and chickens on California's SLOWCOAST, a rural stretch of coastal mountains where organic strawberries rule, mountain lions roam and their motto is "In Slow We Trust." Lately he is working on Blue Mind, merging the fields of neuropsychology and aquatic exploration to foster a deeper appreciation of the emotional and cognitive benefits of healthy waterways and oceans. wallacejnichols.org/
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
"being in nature lights up our brains the same way as the faces of those we love" - Wow! this is incredible
That’s a GREAT IDEA! We were never meant to be away from nature! I think what we call “civilization” leaves a lot to be desired! Indigenous peoples never lost their telepathy with nature, both animals & plants & people!
Sweet photo of the lady with the baby turtle! ♥️🌹🌿
Love the idea of sharing the Blue “marble” Mind! Wondrous!
One of the most inspiring and hilarious talks at TEDx Santa Cruz!
All-in, obsessively on our 200 year old farm, walking beneath indigenous longleaf pines, with the deep dark golden brown tannins flowing over the unearthly white sandy beaches of the Little Satilla River. I remember seeing the ivory billed woodpecker with my GrandFather and Father in 1960. Yes, they were still with us then.
I LOVE this title! At the beach...in the sea @ Cape Cod in a tube, then standing as a girl, watching all sizes of schools of fish swimming as fast as possible past my legs...minnows to Blues or Stripers! Watching the beauty of dolphins! Ants watching a porpoise swim with a lady right off the shore of Cape Cod! Love it! 💜💕💙🐢🐢🐠🐬🐳 I think I should’ve taken up this major!
Profound
BEAM ME IN OCEAN.........SUN...SKY...WATER...MOUNTAINS...ALL THAT IS IN HARMONY ...INNER AND OUTER....YUP......THAT IS ME..........
