My guest today is NASA advisor, author, and YouTube videographer Ariel Waldman. Ariel describes what she does as making “massively multiplayer science” — that is, “creating unusual collaborations that infuse serendipity into science and space exploration.” In this episode, we focus on her recent sojourn documenting microscopic life in Antarctica, and how managing information in such a remote, demanding environment calls for self-reliance and thoughtful preparation.Listen to the full conversation https://theinformeddotlife.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/the-informed-life-episode-13-ariel-waldman.mp3Show notesAriel WaldmanNASA Innovative Advanced Concepts programScience Hack DayAriel’s Spacetime on YouTubeNational Science Foundation Writers and Artists grantMcMurdo StationSan Francisco Microscopical SocietyMerritt College Microscopy programAdobe PremiereAriel on PatreonPhoto: Silicon Republic via Wikimedia Commons
