Christof Koch is a prominent neuroscientist focused on the neural bases of consciousness. Born in 1956, he earned his Ph.D. in biophysics after studying physics and philosophy. His distinguished career includes extensive research on the brain, particularly the visual cortex, and developing theories of consciousness. He notably collaborated with Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA's structure.

Koch served as a professor at Caltech for decades before becoming Chief Scientist and President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, where he led pioneering brain mapping efforts. An influential figure, he has authored several books and speaks widely, advocating for a scientifically grounded approach to understanding the mind.

Natural ecosystems are vital for planetary cooling, but effective solutions demand a holistic understanding of the organisms regulating our climate. The Crowther Lab, led by Professor Thomas Crowther, digitally explores the biosphere using advanced data and AI. This research aims to reveal nature's full potential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Unlike many labs, Crowther emphasizes a comprehensive approach to predict climate progression and develop nature-based solutions. As chief scientific advisor to the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign, his work helps organizations make informed decisions and implement these crucial solutions. This innovative perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
