EVENT SPEAKERS Panelists Dr. Rashid Sumaila – 2023 Tyler Prize Laureate | University Killam Professor and Canada Research Chair, The University of British Columbia, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries Dr. Daniel Pauly – 2023 Tyler Prize Laureate | University Killam Professor, The University of British Columbia | Principal Investigator, Sea Around Us Dr. Jennifer Jacquet – Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Director of XE: Experimental Humanities and Social Engagement at NYU Moderator Dr. Joe Árvai – Director, Wrigley Institute and Professor of Psychology and Biological Sciences EVENT SPEAKER BIOS ABOUT DANIEL PAULY, PHD. (2023 TYLER PRIZE LAUREATE) Daniel Pauly is the founder and Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us initiative at the University of British Columbia. Born in France and raised in Switzerland, Pauly studied in Germany, where he acquired a doctorate in fisheries biology, zoology and physical oceanography from the University of Kiel. He has spent much of his four decades of research documenting the rapid decline of marine and fresh-water fish. He gained worldwide recognition for popularizing the term ‘Shifting Baselines’ – which explains how knowledge of environmental declines fades over time, leading to a misguided understanding of change on our planet. Since 2010, he is the world’s most-cited fisheries scientist. ABOUT RASHID SUMAILA, PHD. (2023 TYLER PRIZE LAUREATE) Rashid Sumaila is a University Killam Professor and Canada Research Chair in Interdisciplinary Ocean and Fisheries Economics at the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, at the University of British Columbia. With roots in Nigeria and Ghana, he received his B.Sc. degree (Quantity Surveying) from the Ahmadu Bello University (Nigeria), and his Ph.D.(Economics) from the University of Bergen (Norway). Sumaila’s research focuses on bioeconomics, marine ecosystem valuation and the analysis of global issues such as fisheries subsidies, marine protected areas, illegal fishing, climate change, marine plastic pollution, and oil spills. The question of how to “bequeath a healthy ocean to our children and grandchildren, so they too can have the option to do the same” – is what drives his life’s work. ABOUT JENNIFER JACQUET, PHD. (PANELIST) Jennifer Jacquet is interested in globalized cooperation dilemmas, such as climate change and the exploitation of wild animals via fishing and the Internet wildlife trade. She is particularly interested in the role of social approval in encouraging cooperation, and is the author of Is Shame Necessary? New Uses for an Old Tool (2015) and The Playbook: How To Deny Science, Sell Lies, and Make A Killing In The Corporate World (2022). Dr. Jacquet earned a Ph.D. in Natural Resource Management and Environmental Studies from the University of British Columbia. She is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Miami, based at the Department of Environmental Science and Policy, Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science. ABOUT JOE ÁRVAI, PHD. (MODERATOR) Dr. Joe Árvai is the Dana and David Dornsife Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology, and he is the Director of the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies at the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at the University of Southern California. Joe's research focuses on improving the critical thinking, judgment, and decision-making capabilities of people. His research focuses primarily on contexts where people must make judgments and decisions under conditions of risk and uncertainty, and where they must confront tradeoffs across conflicting social, economic, and environmental objectives. His research also focuses on situations where people’s instinctive approach to judgment and decision-making is biased by unchecked emotions and motivated reasoning. ABOUT THE TYLER PRIZE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT Established in 1973, the Tyler Prize is awarded to recognize the scientific contributions and leadership of environmental problem solvers, and to inspire others to follow in their footsteps. Recipients of the Tyler Prize are awarded with USD$250,000. In 2023, the Tyler Prize celebrates its 50th year anniversary. During its fifty-year history, the Tyler Prize has recognized passionate environmental science dedication across a spectrum of environmental concerns, including environmental policy, environmental health, air and water pollution, ecosystem disruption, loss of biodiversity, population, energy, and food resources.
