Spreading Knowledge and Wonder

“To generate knowledge and not disseminate it, that to me just doesn’t make sense. It’s like writing music and never playing it.”Fans of TV science programs were likely captivated by the documentary about human evolution that premiered on PBS stations in 2014. “Your Inner Fish” provided a guided tour of the human body and where its many features came from—color vision and brain anatomy from primates, teeth and skin and hair from ancient reptiles, necks and fingers and eyes from primordial fish. The three-part series combined time-tested nature documentary footage with animated versions of long-extinct creatures worthy of any modern science fiction movie.
