WristStrong Sighting: Wildlife biologist Jeff Corwin

Yes, the WristStrong movement is going strong – Stephen wears his regularly on the show! NFZ reader Avery met biologist Jeff Corwin at a book signing on February 9 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and got him to join the WristStrong contingency.

Jeff was at the Kids Discovery Museum in Washington to do two presentations of ”Tales From the Field’ and to sign his latest book, “Living on the Edge: Amazing Relationships in the Natural World.” Stephen most recently snarked on him for his uniform black t-shirt during CNN’s ‘Planet in Peril’ series.

    Way to go, Nation!

    This wouldn’t happen to be former colbertnation.com web-guru Avery, would it? Perhaps he didn’t get trampled to death at a book signing after all…

    No, differen’t Avery :P That would be me, haha. It’s just a nickname I go by instead of my real name.

    (And it was actually Bainbridge Island, WA, but it’s right next to Seattle so I guess it doesn’t matter really matter ;p)

    I forgot to mention that when I told him about the bracelet, he said “He’s funny” re: Stephen :]

    @ h.,
    Thanks for clearing that up, and sorry about that. Nice work with the WristStrong bracelet!

    I just wonder what the deal was with the whole “Avery gets trampled at a book signing and is in a ‘coma’ ” thing that happened last year. Weird…

    I watched the Cubs today and I’m pretty sure firstbaseman Derek Lee is wearing a wristStrong bracelet on his right wrist. i don’t know where else to enter this information, so i’ll just let somebody else discover it…
