Explaining how to be happier humans, with author & autism advocate Dr Camilla Pang

Dr Camilla Pang is an award-winning author & autism advocate . Blessed with the combination of ASD, ADHD & PhD she uses the powers of neurodiversity & science to navigate social norms & advocates for it being a hidden treasure for human evolution on a finite planet. Her first book Explaining Humans won the Royal Society Insight investment award 2020 making her the youngest ever winner for this prestigious prize & the first person of colour.

She provides a unique perspective on the complexities of human behaviour delving into topics such as genetics, machine learning, neuroscience, network theory, game theory, and biochemistry to offer insights into the underlying mechanisms that drive our behaviours. When we understand why we act the way we do, we are more able to get a perspective on it, and decide to make the changes we need to when it is harming ourselves, others, our community or our environment. By giving ourselves a birds' eye view of our impact on climate, we can begin to shift how we do things. But it is also people 'in power' who need to re-engineer political systems and social models. They do this only when we the people start to boycott, protest and demand system-change. 

When we understand how we tick, we know how to tock. People power!
