Socializing with Scientists
Bradley Smith watches dingos, and also Bluey (he's a comparative psychologist)
Bradley grew up in suburban Australia, fascinated by the scientists in movies like Jurassic Park. He also eagerly read biographies and memoirs, and his love of animals and people soon grew into a successful career as a comparative psychologist.
Bradley Smith, PhD, now teaches and researches at Central Queensland University in Australia, spending much of his time thinking, learning, and talking about dingoes. Dingoes are controversial creatures in Australia. Bradley explains why this is, how dingoes feature in aboriginal culture, where they came from, and why it all matters to the government.
He also talks extensively about the world-wide phenomenon of the Australian kids' TV show, Bluey. Bradley just wrote a scientific paper with a student in which they study how the show builds resilience in children who watch its 150 episodes.
