Soil Yourself September! What Lies Beneath: Do soils shape minds?

Jake Robinson

What Lies Beneath: Do soils shape minds from the ground up? with Dr Jake Robinson

Mental health is shaped by a complex web of interactions between biological, environmental, and social systems. In this talk, I explore how soils shape minds and mental health - from the cultural (e.g., eating and worshipping soil) to the macro (e.g., food) to the micro (e.g., microbes) to the nano (e.g., molecules)! Join Jake for a fascinating talk! Dr Jake M. Robinson is an interdisciplinary researcher and science communicator working at the nexus of microbial ecology, ecosystem restoration, and human health. Grounded in systems thinking, his work explores how ecological, biological, and cultural processes interact to shape resilient futures. Jake contributes to global initiatives such as the UNFCCC Resilience Frontiers think tank and leads science-driven projects that bridge research, public engagement, and imaginative transformation. He is the author of several acclaimed popular science books and a passionate advocate for rethinking how ecological science serves people and the planet.Jake is passionate about making complex science accessible to everyone. He is the author of Invisible Friends (2023), TREEWILDING (2024), and The Nature of Pandemics (2025). He also hosts two podcasts (Interconnected and Naked Thinking) and a new YouTube channel: @naturegutbrain.
