Our pal Dan Riskin is back! In case you missed him before, he's a Biologist, Author, Science keynote Speaker and journalist with a PhD in bats...you read that right! You're not going to be shocked; the conversation begins with bats and their armpits. Dan shares fascinating facts about bats, including their unique scents. Jann, Caitlin & Sarah ask Dan about the impact of marijuana on teenage brain development, evolving perceptions of meat consumption, the resilience of humans in adapting to change, the complexities of jet lag, the impact of GPS on our navigation skills, and the deep bond between humans and their pets. Find out more about Dan Riskin: Dan appears on TV and radio several times a week to discuss the most important science stories in the world. You may have seen him co-host Daily Planet on Discovery, as the host of Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet, or as a guest on any number of shows (including The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson!) He is also a keynote speaker, challenging organizations to see how science can help them work in different ways. He also leads wildlife tours! Click here to see some recent appearances on CTV.
