Vivienne MingTheoretical neuroscientist and entrepreneur
Ming’s research, which spans learning science from early education to professional development, provides evidence that the skills we traditionally value not only are doomed to be outdated by technological advances, but also historically haven’t played any part in the success of the human race. Socos Labs, her fourth company, is an independent think tank exploring the future of human potential. She was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, and she received a PhD from Carnegie Mellon in psychology and theoretical neuroscience.
