Co-host of NPR’s Radio Lab, correspondent of NPR’s Science Unit and ABC News Special Correspondent Robert Krulwich has been called “the most inventive network reporter in 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 on 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 a 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 $20,000 top honor for excellence in communicating   science to the general public.   He has won numerous other awards including two Emmys, a George Polk Award, a Dupont Award and the National Cancer Institute’s Extraordinary Communicator’s Award.

“Robert Krulwich was fantastic! He helped make the event. He was everything we wanted on the panels -- he brought the light touch, brought a complex issue down to a common understanding level for anyone in the room, engaged all of the panelists beautifully, brought out the points each of them needed to make and did it with great skill. I just can't say enough about what a great job he did today.”- Healthcare Leadership Council
