Isabella Rossellini on how acting connects to animal cognition

Pass the cocktail napkins and refill your glass because we’re having a dinner party. You’ll be between Isabella Rossellini, the Italian model, movie star, and director; and ecologist Carl Safina, author of many books, including “Beyond Words: What Animals Think And Feel."
This might seem like an unusual pairing, but it turns out they have a surprising amount in common. Both have a deep interest in animal cognition and our place in the natural world, but bring distinctly different lenses (sciencefriday.com/segments/isabella-rossellini…) to their exploration of this corner of science. They join Host Flora Lichtman in the studio to discuss.
Guests:
Isabella Rossellini is an actor and director, and runs Mama Farm in Brookhaven, New York.
Dr. Carl Safina is an ecologist and the author of “Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel."
