'Genius' BETTANY HUGHESThis is collective intelligence: the way in which many people come together to share their knowledge, data and skills to solve huge problems. These problems are too big and complicated for one person to tackle, or even one organisation. But with revolutionary advances in technology and AI, we now have the ability to share our wisdom and knowledge much further than ever before.
In Joined-Up Thinking neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow provides an invaluable guide to our future through the evolving new science of collective intelligence. She reveals what it says about us as human beings, shares compelling examples and stories, and shows how we can work intelligently and collectively in our lives to improve our wellbeing and our prospects.
Dr Hannah Critchlow is the Science Outreach Fellow at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, and has been named a Top 100 UK Scientist by the Science Council for her work in science communication. Mentioned by Nature magazine as a rising star in the life sciences in 2019, she is listed as one of the University of Cambridge's 'inspirational and successful women in science' and appears regularly on TV, radio and at festivals to discuss and explore the brain.
