SUMMARY:Where the Wild Things Are: STEM Lessons from the World’s Most Unusual Pets to Your Furry Best Friend
DESCRIPTION:Join the creator of the viral Instagram series\, “The Year of the Dogs\,” for a deep\, hilarious\, and very cute exploration of the world around us and the animals in it—especially our pets!  Having spent over 30 years traveling the world for National Geographic and documenting everything from mummies to mutts\, Vincent Musi believes that everything we learn about animals teaches us everything we don’t know about ourselves.  With his trademark dry humor\, he takes us into the world of animal cognition and on a tour of some of the world’s most unusual pets\, including a hilarious romp through his The Year of the Dogs project. You may never look at your fuzzy friends the same way again! \n\nSince 1993\, Vincent J. Musi has been a regular contributor to National Geographic\, covering a vast range of subjects from the legendary Route 66 to life at the base of volcanoes. A specialist in animal portraits\, his recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence and cognition. When Vincent’s work shifted from documenting the world to photographing animals\, he knew he was in over his head and feared it would end his career. He’s still unsure\, as he works with subjects who routinely growl\, bark\, roar\, bite\, hiss\, claw\, poop\, or pee…on him. In particular\, he taps into his inner Dr. Dolittle to capture unique dog portraits. As a way to amuse himself (and us)\, Vince imagines the inner lives of his subjects and shares often side-splitting and sometimes poignant life stories from their perspective.

SUMMARY:Changemaker Speaker Series with Photographer Vincent Musi
DESCRIPTION:In this enlightening talk\, Vincent shares highlights from more than 30 years\, traveling the world for National Geographic\, documenting a changing planet—from close to home\, along the iconic Route 66\, to what it’s like to live at the base of a volcano\, to ancient Sicilian mummies.  One story that captured his heart took readers “Inside Animal Minds” (NGM cover story\, March 2008) and included a deep study of birds\, apes\, dolphins\, and dogs\, revealing a wide range of emotions and communication skills. With his trademark dry humor\, Vincent takes us into the world of animal cognition and on a tour of some of the world’s most unusual pets\, including a hilarious romp through his The Year of the Dogs project. You may never look at man’s best friend the same way again! \nVincent J. Musi has been a regular contributor to National Geographic since 1993\, covering a vast range of subjects from the Texas Hill Country to the legendary Route 66\, the ancient crypts of Sicily\, life at the base of volcanoes\, and mummies. \n\n  \nVince is also the longtime host of Nat Geo’s Photographic Seminar\, now renamed the Storytellers Summit\, that brings together inspirational and influential photographers\, writers\, filmmakers\, illustrators\, and journalists\, once a year\, to celebrate the art of storytelling to inspire change. He has contributed to TIME\, Newsweek\, Life\, Fortune and The New York Times Magazine. A specialist in animal portraits\, Vince’s recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence\, and cognition. \nA specialist in animal portraits\, his recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence and cognition. \nWhen Vince’s work shifted from documenting the world to photographing animals\, he knew he was in over his head and feared it would end his career. He’s still unsure\, as he works with subjects who routinely growl\, bark\, roar\, bite\, hiss\, claw\, poop\, or pee…on him. \nWhen the world got smaller during COVID\, he and his wife Callie Shell created the Unleashed Studio\, where he taps into his inner Dr. Dolittle to capture unique dog portraits. As a way to amuse himself (and us)\, Vince imagines the inner lives of his subjects and shares often side-splitting and sometimes poignant life stories from their perspective. The weekly Instagram series\, which grew into a book—initially planned to last one year—is called The Year of the Dogs. The project and posts went viral and the world won’t let him end it. \nVince believes that everything we learn about animals teaches us everything we don’t know about ourselves.
