Dr Julia Baird: The Science of Awe

Award-winning journalist, best-selling author and “awe-hunter” Dr Julia Baird makes her World Science Festival debut with an inspiring discussion about the science of awe.

For the past decade, Baird has researched awe—those vast, mysterious experiences that transcend our understanding of the world. She explores how the deliberate hunting of awe can powerfully transform our lives, making us kinder, calmer, more content – and altruistic. 

Joined by a panel of experts, Baird will delve into the sustaining power of awe, while panelists share extraordinary stories that pushed them to the edges of belief.
