Dr. Wallace "J." Nichols is a scientist, activist, community organizer, author, and dad. He works to inspire a deeper connection with nature, sometimes simply by walking and talking, other times through writing or images. He knows that science and knowledge can also stoke our fires. But what really moves people is feeling part of and touching something bigger than ourselves.
J is a Research Associate at California Academy of Sciences and founder/co-director of Ocean Revolution, an international network of young ocean advocates, and co-founder of SEE Turtles, a sea turtle conservation tourism project. He earned his MEM in Environmental Policy and Economics from Duke University's Nicholas School and his PhD in Wildlife Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from University of Arizona. He is author of more than 50 scientific papers, reports and book chapters as well as the forthcoming book, BLUEMIND, about "our brains on water."
