Interview with Luke Dollar, National Geographic Emerging Explorer, conservationist and scientist
NG Kids: What’s a normal day like for you?
Dollar: I don’t have normal days. There is no predictability in my days, but what is predictable is that it’s gonna start before the sun is up and end well after the next day has arrived. We live in a global society and by the time I am up at 5 a.m., it’s 2 in the afternoon in Madagascar.
The day is going to be full of stuff that I love. I am a professor in North Carolina….at Pfeiffer University. When I got there they said, we need an environmental science program. So I got to develop the major and the curriculum.
NG Kids: What do you do for fun […]?
Dollar: I play with my dogs and train them. They are Chesapeake Bay retrievers. I wrestle with my son Zachary. The most wonderful sound in the world is a baby’s laughter.
