53. Dan Riskin - Always Curious

Whether wearing the hat of scientist, educator, journalist, speaker ... or even entertainer, Dan Riskin has always been committed to bringing science and the natural world to life for others and doing so by bringing his wide-open curiosity to the game. Dan's desire to help people tap into the fact that science is fun and surprising and hilarious and exciting, has helped him to build a multifaceted career whether as a leading expert on all things related to bats, a host of award-winning science-based television programs including the long running Daily Planet on Discovery and Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet as well as being one of late-night talk show host Craig Fergusen's favorite repeat guests. And yet, when we were crossed paths recently, and discussed a possible conversation, it was Dan's youth filled adventures in the creative and playful world of theatre that he hoped to revisit being curious about how they had contributed to his life in science.
