Apr 7, 2026 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts David Rives—author, explorer, photographer, and founder of the Wonders Center & Science Museum near Nashville, Tennessee.

Tune in to hear David share how a childhood curiosity about fossils grew into a lifelong passion for discovery, ultimately leading to the creation of a 100,000-square-foot science museum designed to help families explore the relationship between scientific evidence and faith. Listen as David explains why many of history’s most influential scientists viewed science and faith as complementary, discusses the surprising path that led him to build a world-class museum, and describes how hands-on learning helps both children and adults better understand complex ideas.
