Television and Radio

David Suzuki's career in television began in 1962 when he appeared in eight programs in the University of Alberta series, Your University Speaks. His first nationally broadcast series was Suzuki on Science for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1968.

Since then he has been continuously engaged in the creation of ground-breaking television, radio and films that make science meaningful for ordinary people, and shed a bright light on our connection to the natural world.

David has earned many international awards and the highest honours in Canadian broadcasting, both for his performance as a communicator and for the excellence of the programs he has presented. It can safely be said that he is Canada's most prominent and popular spokesperson for science and the environment.

The Nature of Things

After hosting the popular program, Science Magazine, beginning in 1974, David Suzuki became host of The Nature of Things, one of the CBC's longest-running series. David translates the mysteries and complexities of science and nature into compelling stories that have been seen by viewers of all ages in over 80 countries.

The 40th season of The Nature of Things will explore new and sometimes hidden territories in the world of science, technology and medicine. As the millennium approaches, the series will look for practical solutions to offset the damage inflicted on the natural world. It will also attempt to reflect the diversity of the natural world and human intellect and explore the way in which science can both enrich and destroy.
