Dr. Lori Marino is famous for her work on sentience in animals. She's a neuroscientist, an expert in animal behavior, and an incredible advocate.
She’s been featured in films like Blackfish, Unlocking the Cage, and Long Gone Wild, talking about sentience in animals.
She’s on the team building The Whale Sanctuary Project – an alternative for whales who have only known captivity and will have the chance to live in nature.
Lori is the Founder & Executive Director of The Kimmela Center for Scholarship-based Animal Advocacy. This group focuses on bringing science to animal law. Lori sits on the edge of combining animal welfare and science by studying sentience in animals and has published over 140 papers!
Personally, I think the work that Lori does studying sentience in animals is some of the coolest work in the world. By using science, data, and controlled tests, she’s leading the way for us to better understand what animals are REALLY thinking and feeling.
