Welcome to the 77th Parallel, where film and video play a vital role in connecting curious people and marine scientists. We believe that firsthand accounts from the scientists themselves is essential to effective science communication; by getting an intimate glimpse into the personalities behind the research, we are more likely to listen and learn.
Consider making a video of your research with us and Humanize Your Science.
