Human Told Science Tales
Science communication can be tackled by anyone with a phone. Yet, it is the hardest to make an impact in society, so how do you do it? This challenge is what inspires me to create. What makes it even more fascinating is there isn’t one solution. However, working with people passionate to test the known to find truth are the stories that I love to produce. People and their stories are my solution. So, what’s your story?

The Dolphin Dilemma
Imagine, waking up being covered in third-degree burns, that's what it's like for the Burrunan dolphins in Australia. But why is this happening? That's what Dr. Duignan, Director of Pathology at The Marine Mammal Center, Dr. Stephen’s from Murdoch University, and Dr. Robb from the Marine Mammal Foundation had to find out. This film explores this international collaboration that proves for the first time that these lesions being found on cetaceans around the world are only caused by climate change.
Pacific Rewind
CAPSTONE was a multi-year campaign that explored the deep sea habitats of the marine national monuments, never seen before. Take a look at this overview of the campaign created by GFOE video producer Olivia Andrus-Drennan.
All footage was gathered aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer with ROV Deep Discoverer and ROV Seirios, which are designed, maintained, and operated by the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration in partnership with NOAA Ocean Exploration.
Seascape Alaska: Aleutians Bound

American Chemical Society’s Ingenious: The World’s Smallest Water Treatment Plant Comes in a Packet
About 800,000,000 people worldwide – that’s almost one in ten, more than the population of the U.S. – don’t have reliable access to clean water. Using a technology first developed to reuse dirty laundry water, scientists have developed a water treatment plant the size of a teabag. Inside, a potent chemical triple-threat removes microbes, heavy metals, silt and dirt to produce clean, safe water one bucket at a time.
Ingenious is a new web series from the American Chemical Society about how leading-edge chemistry is taking on the world’s most urgent issues to advance everyone’s quality of life and secure our shared future.
Hosted by Alex Dainis, Ingenious spotlights stories from the front lines of chemistry research and development, where passionate innovators are stepping up to confront problems like pollution, overfishing, sustainability, and personal safety.
Rescue Mission: Deadly Entanglement Found Around Elephant Seal Mom's Neck
The Marine Mammal Center's expert responders worked with trained teams from NOAA and Point Reyes National Park on this challenging rescue. This young northern elephant seal mother was found with a plastic package strap wrapped tightly around her neck. The life-threatening entanglement likely made it difficult for her to swim, eat, and even breathe - all while trying to care for her two-week-old pup. Due to the seal's position, trained responders had to simultaneously distract other wild seals, while positioning close enough to the entangled seal to remove the strap. Their teamwork saved this young mother's life!
Diversified:
The Florida Panther Story
Genetic bottlenecking has plagued the Florida panthers since the early 1980s. To counteract this problem the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission created the Florida Panther Project. Their goal was to introduce new genes into the Florida panther's gene pool to diversify the species and save them from extinction.
