Dr. Sammy Ramsey, your friendly neighborhood entomologist, makes the case for why the same empathy that helped us solve a more than 70 year old bee health mystery is critical for the advancement of science broadly and what we stand to lose if this skill continues to fade. Taking you on this journey through the honey bee health crisis from a bees’ perspective (and from their parasite's)– he outlines why seeing the world from another's eyes is paramount in preserving our pollinators and the integrity of the pursuit of knowledge.

Dr. Sammy is celebrated as an engaging science communicator who aims to make science more accessible to a broader audience.
