Writer and host of the web series Wild Sex, which has garnered over 50 million views. Recently delivered a keynote address at the yearly Dean’s lecture in science at Ryerson University in Toronto.
Group sex, prostitution, masturbation -- every sexy thing we humans do, says Carin Bondar, animals do too, and a whole lot more we, thank goodness, can't (see topic: chastity belts). Bondar, a biologist, hosts the truly astonishing "Wild Sex" video series on earthtouch.tv, where over two seasons she's been using science and uberwatchable storytelling to tell surprising tales of animal mating. As she says: "We hit topics hard, and not just for the quirk factor, but because there is a lot of cool science behind so many strange mating rituals."
For contrast, her first book, "The Nature of Human Nature," examines the unique behaviors of the human species in the context of Darwin's Survival of the Fittest. Bondar is also the host and producer of "SciAm Cinema," a monthly series of the best stories from the Scientific American blog network, and the co-host (with Phil Plait) of "TwiST," a weekly series about science and tech on the Science Alert YouTube channel, as well as a TV host for Discovery International and National Geographic Wild.
