I got to work with the Schmidt Ocean Institute again, sailing around the Phoenix Islands Protected Area. We were exploring never-before-seen deep corals, and the incredible ecosystems they support. My job is engaging the public with the research happening on board, sharing the incredible stories behind the cutting edge science.
Here are some 4K mini-highlights
My favourite film of the trip is here
I directed a short animation about Malaria that was featured on BBC World News, you can check it out on the BBC website here
We won the Association of British Science Writer's award for Best TV Programme / online film.
Ace producer Lizzie Crouch wrote the script
Animation/illustration/hand acting help by the uber talented Patrick Koduah and Victor Opeyokun.
Here is a brief gif-based summary...
Mosquitos are developing resistance to our chemical weapons...
Scientists are working on a vaccine, but we don't have one yet.
It may be possible to infect the malaria parasite with a bacteria that stops it from reproducing.
It seems that simpler factors such design, landscaping and modifying buildings are perhaps our biggest weapons in the fight against malaria.
It's hoped that by understanding all of the features that affect Malaria transmission, we may be able to conquer it once and for all.

I got commissioned by Nature to direct and edit a film about epigenomics. The idea was that the human genome could be thought of like a music score. It isn't just changing the notes that change how the music gets expressed. We managed to bring a talented group of musicians together and make the piece come alive. CP Snow tried to claim science and art were two separate cultures, well roll over Beethoven... we spliced together a mash up to challenge that idea.
