This podcast is a conversation with Albert Lin, probably best known for his work as a presenter on National Geographic TV. Most recently he has appeared on Lost Cities with Albert Lin. In that series, Albert used drone-mounted Laser scanning which can punch through the vegetation to reveal ancient archaeological features on the landscape. I was fortunate to work with with Albert on two programmes in the series: one on Petra in Jordan and the other on Macchu Picchu in Peru
Albert describes himself as an Explorer, a Scientist and a Communicator and his work testifies to that. He led an incredible project to try and find the lost tomb of Genghis Khan, which used crowd-sourced data to make new discoveries in a remote Mongolian sacred area, where few had ever travelled.
However, what makes Albert unique for me is his incredible optimism and positivity towards life in general. He is someone who grabs life as it rushes by and holds on for the ride. A fantastic musician, he would often be picking away at a guitar or some other stringed instrument he had just picked up as we bounced around rough roads on our way to location.
And the second part of the conversation really expresses everything about Albert. How he took a deeply traumatic experience and transformed it into an opportunity for learning and understanding. Experiencing horrific phantom pain after the loss of his leg in a car accident, Albert set out to try and find a solution that wasn’t based on the addictive and truly dangerous opioids available.
That led him to using psychedelic drugs, along with Neuroscientific expertise, to reset his brain and end the pain. Now Albert researches how to use psychoactive substances to treat pain, but he also leads a research project which uses cellphones to create prosthetic limbs for some of the world’s 40 million amputees, many of whom are immobilised by their condition. Alberts energy certainly inspires me and I believe it will inspire you too.
