SUMMARY:A Night Of Bigfoot With Dr. Mireya Mayor & Russell Acord
DESCRIPTION:Live the adventure. Discover the impossible. Join the stars of Discovery Channel’s hit show “Expedition Bigfoot” for a thrilling night of legend\, lore\, and the untamed wild! National Geographic explorer and primatologist Dr. Mireya Mayor and Army veteran and survival expert Russell Acord work alongside an elite team of Sasquatch specialists as they journey into the unforgiving North American wilderness to prove once and for all that the elusive beast known as Bigfoot exists. The team utilizes advanced data algorithms to pinpoint the best locations and times to encounter Bigfoot\, rather than relying solely on anecdotal evidence. Their aim? To move the creature from the realm of legend into reality. Composed of experts in various fields\, including biology and wilderness survival\, the team members work to gather physical evidence of Bigfoot’s existence through rigorous investigation. “Expedition Bigfoot” has been running since 2019 and has produced 60 episodes across six seasons. The evening includes an opportunity to meet with Mireya and Russell and shop for Bigfoot memorabilia. \nDr. Mireya Mayor is a primatologist\, explorer\, National Science Foundation fellow\, Fulbright scholar\, and Emmy Award–nominated wildlife correspondent for the National Geographic Channel. Her explorations have led to several scientific discoveries\, most notably her co-discovery in Madagascar of the world’s smallest primate. Mireya has hosted dozens of documentaries\, is the author of the bestselling book Pink Boots And A Machete\, and is the subject of an award-winning children’s book\, Just Wild Enough. Mireya is also executive director of exploration and science communications at Florida International University\, where she is helping scientists effectively communicate complex topics. She’s been recognized as a National Geographic Emerging Explorer\, a Fulbright Global Changemaker\, and one of Stony Brook University’s “40 Under Forty.” \nAs an author\, filmmaker\, and nuclear industry professional\, Russell Acord also explores the North American wilderness with his fellow researchers on the trail of Bigfoot. Born on the East Coast\, Russell moved with his family to Montana as a child. Captivated by the majestic scenery\, he never looked back. As an adult\, Russell answered the “call of patriotism” and enlisted in the Army\, embarking on the greatest highs and toughest lows of his life. He experienced many countries\, cultures\, and adventures as a soldier and\, honorably discharged\, he headed to college. Minoring in civil engineering and majoring in safety and health management\, Russell honored the military by graduating magna cum laude and began his career in nuclear safety and as an author. His Bitterroot series of two books so far – Footprints Of A Legend and Bigfoot And The Tripwire – offer captivating fictional accounts that combine his experience in the military with his adventures searching for Bigfoot.
