What do Shakespeare, neuroscientist Rafa Yuste, and human rights lawyer Jared Genser have in common? They all believe that our brains make us human. Yuste and Genser add their own coda to that belief: therefore, it is essential to define and protect mankind’s neuro rights. And through the NeuroRights Foundation which they co-founded they are working to do exactly that around the world.
The good news is that they are starting to have successes: in Colorado, California and Minnesota in the United States, as well as in Chile and Brazil.
Yuste and Genser are both past winners of the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize. Indeed, that’s how they met and began their collaboration.
Listen to this special Spotlight episode, as Yuste and Genser discuss the urgency of the issue and their advocacy campaign. Then tell us what you think —and nominate impactful leaders like them for this year’s Prize.

Worth Repeating: A Visionary Leader
April 18, 2024

Andrew Bastawrous solves problems. As a well-trained, highly skilled ophthalmologist he was devoted to treating as many patients as possible, in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa. But even gifted surgeons can only do so much, and Andrew came to realize that there were innumerable patients who never even made it to the queues outside his treatment centers.
So, Andrew stepped back and rethought how to do ophthalmology in practice. He found an answer by reimagining how eye care is delivered—literally a whole new supply chain—and leveraging technology. The result is that his Peek Vision software and data intelligence platform now help millions overcome vision impairment.
Listen to (and watch) this special episode of New Thinking for a New World, as Dr. Bastawrous, a winner of the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize for 2023, explains what it really means to think differently.

Re-thinking Education for Migrant Children
May 2, 2024
•42m
We live in an era of mass migration. Millions of people and families are on the move, driven by conflict, natural disasters, insecurity, and lack of opportunity. The human cost of migration is high, especially for children who often lose access to regular schooling, health care, nutrition, and other factors that will shape their futures for better or for worse.
On this episode of New Thinking for a New World, we push beyond the problems to explore solutions. Three experts share their experiences in designing and executing educational and other programs for children in distress. Listen as Pashtana Durrani (LEARN Afghanistan), Lala Lovera (Fundacion Comparte Por Una Vida Colombia), and Caroline Kronley (Tinker Foundation) discuss how it’s possible to deliver quality education even under the most complicated circumstances.
