The Real "Ant-Man": Dr. Mark "Dr. Bugs" Moffett (Tropical Biologist, Author, Explorer, and Photographer)(Ep. 38)

Science/Tech
Written By Taylor Bledsoe

When we are little, we notice the birds, the bushes, and the bugs. Nothing escapes our tiny, curious eyes. However, as we grow older, we focus on the things that mean the most to us. Our vision narrows to laser in on specific goals. We forget the fascination we once experienced when we would stare at the trains of ants marching across the sidewalk. Dr. Mark "Dr. Bugs" Moffett, world-renowned tropical biologist, author, photographer, and explorer, hasn't lost his enchantment with the creepy crawlies. In fact, as he's gotten older, he has become even more enthralled in the similarities between ant colonies and human societies. Join us today as we talk to this scientist who has appeared on shows with "National Geographic," Steven Colbert, Conan O'Brien, and others. Today's topics include the comparisons between city infrastructure and the ant hivemind, ant war tactics, and Dr. Moffett's early, biology career. Spoiler Alert: It started as soon as he was born.
