Episode 6: Dr. Mark Moffett

In the fall of 2021, I finally got to leave my house and speak to a live audience at the <a href="http://pbaif.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pebble Beach Authors and Ideas Festival</a> in Monterey, California. After over a year of the pandemic, everyone was a little rusty with in-person interactions, except for one presenter—<a href="https://www.doctorbugs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Mark Moffett. </a>Mark’s presentation, his animated style, and fun demeanor captured the crowd that weekend in a way that no one else could. His description of the Southern California ant wars captivated the crowd, and put everyone, including me, who had been trapped in their houses for more than a year completely at ease.Informally known as “Dr. Bugs” and “the Indiana Jones of entomology,” Mark Moffett is biologist, writer, and globetrotter who has examined species’ life and death from the forest floor to canopies. His research has brought him all over the world from Sri Lanka to Costa Rica to Easter Island. Dr. Mark Moffett is currently studying the stability of societies across animal species and humans up to the present day through <a href="https://www.templeton.org/grant/the-life-and-death-of-societies-investigating-the-societies-of-animals-to-understand-our-own" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a grant with the Templeton Foundation</a>.“Dr. Bugs” joined Clint to discuss his global expeditions, winding career path, and how we aren’t so different from ants after all.
