Dr. Herman was an American marine biologist who was best known for his research into sensory perception, communication, and echolocation of bottlenose dolphins. He founded the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1970. And, in 1993, together with Dr. Adam Pack, he founded The Dolphin Institute, which is a non-profit corporation dedicated to dolphins and whales through education, research, and conservation.  In our discussion he details how he became a scientist, accidentally and the story of how his dolphins were stolen.
