RANDY OLSON earned his Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard and was a tenured professor of marine biology at the University of New Hampshire when he quit and moved to Los Angeles to attend USC film school, learn narrative, and bring that knowledge back to his fellow scientists. He’s written and directed a number of short films and feature documentaries, written books, including DON’T BE SUCH A SCIENTIST and HOUSTON, WE HAVE A NARRATIVE, and a series called NARRATIVE GYM. Olson developed what he calls the ABT framework, and as a consultant, guides organizations to speak in narratives.
