Studio Director Michael Pisano’s first career aspiration was to be a dinosaur. 40-ish years later, he makes films about sustainability and solidarity. Michael hosts We Are Nature, Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s podcast about natural histories and livable futures. He also writes and illustrates fantasy games about collaboration in the face of doom. Together, he thinks, we can fight for a joyous future.
