Bjørn Grinde got his education in natural sciences, psychology, and anthropology from the University of Oslo, with doctoral degree in biology. He currently works as Chief Scientist at the Division of Mental Health, Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Bjørn's main area of interest is our understanding of the human brain as shaped by evolution, and how this knowledge can help improve quality of life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
