Any scientist will tell you that doing science is only part of the job; being able to communicate your scientific findings to the world is just as important. Here at A View From Earth we love talking to people whose prime job is communicating science and inspiring curiosity, and who better to tell us about that than Kari Byron! In our Season 3 premiere episode, our conversation with Kari covers everything from the ties between art and science to using your platform to educate and inspire, to having a global perspective on education, and of course, a bit of Mythbusters nostalgia.

Kari Byron has been a strong presence in the world of reality-based science and travel television for over a decade. She broke into the industry as a host on Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters but has gone on to host and produce shows spanning several networks. She is also a strong advocate for science accessibility and universality, as well as for young women in science. Her first book, Crash Test Girl: An Unlikely Experiment in Using the Scientific Method to Answer Life's Biggest Questions, is on shelves now. Her newest series, Crash Test World, premiered on the Science Channel on January 8th.
