ABOUT ATHENA AKTIPIS
Hi, I\'m Athena Aktipis, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University, Director of the Cooperative Futures Instititute, The Interdisciplinary Cooperation Initiative, and the The Cooperation Lab at ASU. I am also co-Director of The Cooperation Science Network and The Human Generosity Project. I study cooperation across systems from human sharing to cancer. I\'m also the founder of Zombified Media and the host of the podcast, Zombified. When COVID-19 was on the verge of becoming a pandemic, I started the Cooperation in the Apocalypse project to better understand how crises affect cooperation, interdependence and other social behaviors. I am the author of two books, A Field Guide to the Apocalypse: A mostly serious guide to surviving our wild times and The Cheating Cell: How evolution helps us understand and treat cancer. I also author a Substack titled Not For Peer Review where I share my thoughts on topics from AI to the origins of life.
