After 44 years as the face of Canada’s premier science TV show, you might expect David Suzuki to feel a little sadness and a little nostalgia as he steps down…
“Television is a medium where the latest thing is all wow-wow. Every fall you get the launch of all the new shows and, by the end of the season, 90 per cent of them are gone. And there’s old ‘Nature Of Things’ still chugging along and still pulling in an audience.That message has remained consistent. The show aired its first episode on climate change in 1989. It’s done pieces on vanishing species, forest conservation — all of which remain in the news today.
Scientists, he says, bear some responsibility. Suzuki, once a prominent geneticist, believes researchers have a duty to go past the disinterested pursuit of knowledge and alert their society to the consequences of what that knowledge means. “I think every scientist should be an advocate for taking science seriously and pointing out what that science tells.”
