Don't Be Such a Scientist by Randy Olson
Drawing on the author's own evolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker, this book shares the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. It argues that the key is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human.
Randy Olson earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University and achieved tenure at the University of New Hampshire before resigning and moving to Hollywood, obtaining an M.F.A. from the University of Southern California School of Cinema, and embarking on a second career as a filmmaker. Since film school he has written and directed the critically acclaimed films Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus (Tribeca, '06, Showtime) and Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy (Outfest, '08), and co-founded The Shifting Baselines Ocean Media Project, a partnership between scientists and Hollywood to communicate the crisis facing our oceans.
