Vital Curriculum for your Curriculum Vitae

It all began over frothy pints in a pub in Sweden, in the summer of 1998, when Bo Landin of Scandinature Films and natural history filmmaker Ronald Tobias got into a discussion about bridging the gap between scientists and the public. Says Tobias, 'If anyone is responsible for launching the idea of the program, I would give credit to Bo Landin. I picked up the ball at that point and approached Discovery about six months after that.' Two years later, the result is the world's first Master of Fine Arts in Science and Natural History Filmmaking program, which is set to begin fall 2001 at Montana State University.
