Dr. Frederic Bertley

Columbus, Ohio, US

CEO, COSI – Center of Science and Industry (led it to be voted America’s Best Science Museum 3 years in a row); (previous) Vice President, Center for Innovation in Science Learning, Franklin Institute; Dell Inspire 100 World Changers (2012); 7-time EMMY Award winner; Columbus CEO Magazine’s CEO of the Year (2018); Library of Congress ‘History Makers’ inductee (2015).

(5) Big Ideas from the Episode: 

  • We enter the world as scientists.
  • Moving from Place-Based science centers to Space-Based science networks.
  • “There is sufficient… data that says the clock is ticking on the capacity for us to save the planet.”
  • Potential misuse of technology and the need for responsible decision-making.
  • How COSI’s “prepared mind” allowed it to successfully adapt during the Pandemic.

“One of the reasons I like science is, for the most part, it is an objective enterprise. Scientists, like all humans, have their biases, but in the end, the data is either reproducible or not, verifiable or not, then a truth emerges and the scientific enterprise moves on — regardless of anyone’s bias.”
