Imagination has always been the invisible force behind humanity’s greatest breakthroughs—from storytelling and culture to science, technology, and the future of life itself. In this provocative conversation, legendary media visionary Jeffrey Katzenberg and biotech innovator Ben Lamm explore how imagination is now being used to bridge the divide between species, reshaping how humans understand, communicate with, and coexist alongside the living world. Drawing from radically different domains—Hollywood storytelling and frontier biotechnology—the session examines how narrative, emotion, and scientific innovation can transform the way we relate to non-human life. Katzenberg reflects on the power of story to build empathy and connection across boundaries, while Lamm shares how bold imagination is driving breakthroughs in de-extinction, synthetic biology, and the future of interspecies communication.
