Dean Hamer
Scientist turned filmmaker Dean Hamer became interested in documentary filmmaking as a result of being a frequent guest on television news shows to discuss his research on AIDS, human sexuality and behavior genetics. Convinced that there was a better way to communicate the complex scientific and social ideas raised by these topics, he decided to try his own hand at storytelling.
Dean received a PhD in biochemistry from Harvard University and has been a researcher at the National Institutes of Health for 30 years. He has also written several popular science books including The Science of Desire, which was a New York Times Book of the Year, and The God Gene, which was featured on the cover of Time magazine
