Dr. Ellen Censky, Ph.D. is the President and CEO of the Milwaukee Public Museum: Wisconsin’s Museum of Natural History. An acclaimed biologist, author of several books, and pioneer of the internationally-adopted BioBlitz program – which allows scientists to collaborate with communities to discover ecosystems “right in [their] own backyard” – Dr. Censky has forged an indelible scientific legacy. In this episode, Censky discusses how the BioBlitz program inspired young scientists to pursue interest in the field, shares entertaining anecdotes which were just “part of the job” while conducting research in the Caribbean Island of Anguilla, and emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind and maintaining curiosity about our “amazing planet.”
