@djsumdog Nope. I deployed as a researcher and filmmaker with the Long Term Ecological Research team for this expedition. Working on wider distribution for next year!

Next week, my FIRST FILM will be screening @ Bristol Megascreen in the UK!

ANTARCTICA UNEARTHED was awarded Official Selection @ Wildscreen Festival, sponsored by the BBC Natural History Unit.

I don’t know if #tea mastodon is a thing but I appreciated the tea game at #TED2023, so behold my home tea cart selection.

This #EarthDay, spend six minutes being amazed about a corner of our planet we don’t even include on maps 😮 https://www.ted.com/talks/ariel_waldman_the_invisible_life_hidden_beneath_antarctica_s_ice

Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?

OUT THERE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCI-FI FILM AND TV

From black holes to space elevators and extraterrestrial civilizations, this is a rich and beautifully illustrated book for your coffee table. And astronaut Mae Jemison wrote the Foreword!
