Co-host of NPR’s Radio Lab, correspondent for NPR’s Science Unit and ABC News Special Correspondent, Robert Krulwich has been called “the most inventive network reporter for television” by TV Guide. His specialty is explaining complex subjects — science, technology, economics — in a style that is clear, compelling and entertaining.
He has explored the structure of DNA with a banana; created his own Italian Opera, “Ratto Interesso,” to explain how the Federal Reserve regulates interest rates; and pioneered the use of animation on ABC’s Nightline, World News, and NPR’s internet site to explore cellular biology and subprime lending.
Krulwich regularly appears on ABC's World News, NPR’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered. His program, Radio Lab, is an NPR series that explores new developments in science for people who are curious but not usually drawn to science shows. “I like talking about ideas, and I especially like creating images that will keep those ideas in peoples’ heads for hours, days, even months” he says. In 2007 The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine gave Radio Lab its top honor for excellence in communicating science to the general public.
As host and executive editor of PBS' five-part documentary series, NOVAscienceNOW, Krulwich explored scientific breakthroughs and their applications, from fuel cells and hydrogen-powered cars to nanotechnology. For ABC's Brave New World series, he examined subjects ranging from artificial intelligence to human cloning.
He has won two Emmys, a George Polk Award, a Dupont Award, and the National Cancer Institute’s Extraordinary Communicator’s Award.
In his presentations and personal appearances, Robert Krulwich - creative, expressive and, most of all, curious - is a show and an education all by himself.
