Today, the relevance of design is expanding far beyond visual aesthetics -- to everything from tackling global issues such as climate change, to making sense of the overwhelming amount of data that surrounds us.
My many initiatives and collaborations encompass innovative educational outreach approaches to art and zoological history, ecological anthropology and aesthetics, the history of ideas, exploration, environmental psychology, comparative literature, philosophy and ethics, global biodiversity field research, systematics, deep demography and animal rights.
