Presented as part of the Changemaker Speaker Series, National Geographic Explorer and award‑winning scientist Albert Lin shares Exploring Human Frontiers, a compelling reflection on discovery, resilience, and innovation. Known for pioneering high‑tech expeditions that have revealed lost cities and ancient civilizations, Lin’s work spans the Mayan jungle, the Mongolian steppe, and some of the most remote landscapes on Earth.
After losing his lower leg in a 2016 accident, and later supporting his son’s recovery from a traumatic brain injury, Lin turned inward—drawing on ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and the power of neuroplasticity to heal. On stage, he examines the evolving relationship between mind, body, culture, and technology, offering insight into what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world.
Blending science, storytelling, and lived experience, Exploring Human Frontiers reveals how the most meaningful journeys often begin within.
