Dr. McClintock is a polar and marine biologist, professor, and author at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and offers valuable insight into why the study of invertebrates is important to mankind. Linked below, check out the behind the scenes vlog, showing some of the work it took to film on location at Blue Water Park for the production.
Spineless, But Brave
Invertebrates are animals lacking a vertebral column, or spine. While we generally associate being "spineless" with being fearful or meek, many of these little critters are far from timid. Join us as we explore the worlds of some of these spineless creatures living here in the great state of Alabama. We're excited to premiere the pilot episode of "Spineless, But Brave," focusing on Craspedacusta sowerbii, the freshwater jellyfish.
Science education in Alabama high schools depends on resources that face major funding threats from the state at a time when nationally science itself has become a source of controversy. This documentary focuses on examining the work and impact of the Alabama Science In Motion (ASIM) program and the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI). These programs face substantial, if not complete, funding cuts in the coming years, which would be crippling to STEM education in the Alabama school system.
Viva Science!
Ravenous with Ryan
This is my official submission for the Binging with Babish #eatwhatyouwatch competition, shot and edited in the style of Binging with Babish. The Seafood Paella from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a curative item that restores health by refilling three heart containers. The recipe from the game includes any porgy, Hearty Blueshell Snail, Hylian rice, goat butter, and rock salt. Check out this video to see the preparation of my original recipe for seafood paella.
