Graduate Student Profile
nelson
Background:
MS University of Hawaii - Study in Marine Biology specializing in behavioral and population ecology
BA University of Miami 2000: Dual Majored in Biology and Marine Science; Minored in Chemistry
Study abroad at James Cook University Australia; 1 year Marine  Science Scholar program

Preferred Role:
Director/Producer, but I also have a specialty in camera, editing and animation
Current Projects:
I'm the Producer for www.thewildclassroom.com and organizing film projects on the web to be shown to schools and classrooms.  I'm also organizing a wildlife film making web page www.thewildclassroom.com/wildlifefilmmaking.html, which in the future will serve as a resource for the film making community.
Past Film Topics:
My past student films relate almost entirely to something useful for biologists in presentations.  Teaches and college professors should be able to use my topics in class.  For instance, I created a website on world biomes for my second year thesis: http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/index.html
For my first year thesis I did a webpage and video on on the World's deadliest snakes http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biodiversity/snakes/main/deadly.html
Awards/Festivals:
I was a finalist at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival for my work with the Ecogeeks Podcast www.thewildclassroom.com
Future Goals:
After the program I plan to continue work creating educational videos that target school kids. I feel this is the most important market to affect change in society.  If I can get them excited about science, they'll become life long learners which will effect the way our society operates.
