Ideas and Strategies for a Gentler World

I'm a writer, ethics strategist and social change advocate, working to promote a global system that prioritizes the prevention of suffering of all sentient beings. Trained as a research molecular biologist, I take a scientifically inspired approach to answering core ethical questions and designing strategies to embed compassionate values into our system. I strongly support both human and animal rights, and the development of new structures for society that meet everyone’s needs. In 2016 I founded the think-and-do tank Organisation for the Prevention of Intense Suffering (OPIS), which aims to put compassion at the heart of our society and its governance.
