Microscopic Marvels: Ethan Freese and Dakota Altman

In this episode of Streaming Science’s Microscopic Marvels series, we explore the intersection of science, storytelling, and tiny organisms with digital media producers Ethan Freese and Dakota Altman hosted by University of Florida - Agricultural Education and Communication student Zack Sopko. As part of the Platte Basin Timelapse Project, these Nebraska-based storytellers use photography and video to showcase the beauty of ecosystems and support scientific communication. We hear about their creative journeys, the power of time-lapse imagery, and the importance of connecting people to nature through compelling media. From Nebraska’s Sandhills to NSF-funded research, this episode celebrates curiosity, collaboration, and the microscopic wonders shaping our world.
