Welcome back to Is That How It Happened?—today’s guest is my friend Dr. Colt W. Knight from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, an Associate Extension Professor and Maine’s state livestock specialist. He runs the Maine Grazing Behavior Lab, where his team designs and manufactures livestock tracking collars and does applied grazing behavior research to help interpret what animals are telling us through their movement and behavior.

But Colt’s also an accomplished luthier—building custom guitars that have found their way into the hands of world-class players, including The Kentucky Headhunters. Today we’re talking about craft, science, and the kind of curiosity that connects a lab bench to a workbench—so let’s get into it.
