Lee Alan Dugatkin

I'm an evolutionary biologist and a historian of science in the Department of Biology at the University of Louisville. I have lectured about my research and my books at more than 175 venues around the world, including in New Zealand, Australia, Mongolia, Cuba, Russia, Romania, Turkey, The Czech Republic, Croatia, Taiwan, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and many other countries. I'm the author of twelve books and more than 200 articles, in such journals as Nature, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and The Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, and I'm a contributing author to Scientific American, The American Scientist, The New Scientist and The Washington Post. The New York Times Book Review called my book, How to Tame a Fox and Build a Dog, "Sparkling... A story that is part science, part Russian fairy tale, and part spy thriller… it may serve — particularly now — as a parable of the lessons that can emerge from unfettered science, if we have the courage to let it unfold.”
