Pat works at Radiolab, National Public Radio's science/curiosity hour that probably shows up sporadically on your local station. It's a totally peculiar show worth checking out: think This American Life meets Bill Nye The Science Guy meets Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Go have a listen here!

He also writes about science and culture for The New York Times Magazine, Popular Science and O: The Oprah Magazine, among a few others, and he's a former National Geographic Society explorer. He's lectured on his work at Harvard University, the Poynter Institute for Media Studies and Nat Geo HQ.
