AMNH Presents: Secret Life of Scientists Live!

Meet an all-star cast of scientists who have secrets to share. Explore the frontiers of psychology, biology, and nanotechnology and discover a side to scientists you’ve never seen before—passion for ping-pong, expeditionary gastronomy, even circus arts!

Hosted by Faith Salie of NPR’s “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!,” the program features Museum curators Melanie Stiassny, an ichthyologist, and Mark Siddall, a parasitologist, as well as experimental psychologist Steven Pinker, nanotech researcher Rich Robinson, and experimental neuropsychologist Jessica Cail.
