This video was produced as part SciTrends, an educational series for middle and high school students funded by the National Science Foundation. I served as lead producer for the series, through my ongoing partnership with Pellet Productions, taking it from inception to completion. Along the way, I researched and developed and all storylines, produced field shoots, and scripted each segment personally.
