Dr. Alex Schnell - Comparative Animal Psychologist
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Alex Schnell — a comparative animal psychologist and world-leading researcher in cephalopod cognition. From cuttlefish and octopus to other non-aquatic Animalia, Alex investigates how minds evolve, how animals remember and decide, and how intelligence takes surprising forms. As a National Geographic Explorer and acclaimed filmmaker (with credits including Blue Planet II, Planet Earth III, and Secrets of the Octopus), she brings scientific insight to the screen and beyond. Tune in as we chat remotely from our home offices, peel back the mysteries of the ocean’s most remarkable creatures, and explore how reconnecting with animal minds might just reshape how we view ourselves.
