About Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D. — evolutionary biologist, author & founder
Noah Wilson-Rich, Ph.D., is a pioneering evolutionary biologist, author, and public speaker at the forefront of pollinator and biodiversity science. As someone who was raised by a single parent, a New York City schoolteacher who deeply understood the potential of the built environment to support growth, Dr. Noah is on a mission to green cities to improve the human condition. He is the Founder of The Biodiversity Lab, a new venture dedicated to advancing global biodiversity and consulting on innovative ecological solutions, such as green roofs and walls, pollinator habitats, and urban farms and gardens, for properties that currently lack these features. Dr. Noah is also the Founder and active leader of Urban Bee Lab (UBL). This nonprofit research charity leverages bees and biodiversity data to empower communities, companies, and cities to take meaningful action for nature. Additionally, he is the Founder and former CEO of The Best Bees Company, a mission-driven business that has revolutionized scientific urban beekeeping.
With more than 20 peer-reviewed publications including The Bee: A Natural History (Princeton University Press), four TEDx talks with millions of views, and media coverage in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, National Geographic, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Science magazine, Martha Stewart Living, TED Radio Hour, NASA’s blog, and others, Dr. Noah has established himself as a leading voice on pollinator health and biodiversity. His groundbreaking innovations—such as AI-powered SmartHives, HoneyDNA technology, and blockchain hive networks—have already led to measurable successes, with some regions achieving 0% hive losses.
Dr. Noah’s unique ability to bridge rigorous science with accessible public communication makes him a trusted authority and an inspiring voice on the future of our food systems and environment.
