Live speaker series! National Geographic Live brings Explorers from the field to your city, live on stage.

Acoustic biologist Ben Mirin transforms the sounds of nature into music, revealing what these auditory symphonies tell us about the planet.

The world is alive with sound, and acoustic biologist and National Geographic Explorer Ben Mirin makes sure we never miss a beat. From the sweet songs of morning birds to the chatter of howling lemurs to the conversation of whales, we’ll go on assignment on an auditory adventure. We’ll tune in to wildlife symphonies, discover what those voices tell us about our planet, and transform that science into music.

ABOUT BEN MIRIN
Ben Mirin is the founding director of the Creative Conservation Lab (CCL) in partnership with Cornell University and UNC Chapel Hill. By training, Mirin is an acoustic biologist, storyteller, and artist who studies sound in nature and biocultural conservation. He also composes music from his sound recordings and performs live as a “wildlife DJ.” Mirin completed his Ph.D. in 2024 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where he studied birdsong and the wildlife trade in Indonesia. Through science, music and media, he combines his passions to engage new audiences in a more inclusive and sustainable future for all life on earth. Mirin is the creator and host of the digital and television series “WILD BEATS” on National Geographic Kids and Nat Geo Wild.
