Untamed Science - My Heros

Back in late 2009 when looking for other science related websites I ran across Untamed Science and was immediately enthralled by the quality of the media they were producing and the educational value of that media. Their video podcasts were almost the only videos I tried to watch on the tiny iPod screen.  I emailed Rob Nelson to tell him just how much I enjoyed what his group was doing and the quality of their work. He very graciously replied through several emails, for someone so busy I was really touched.

To me the Untamed Science group all appear to live the life that so many of us would want, to explore nature in all parts of the world. Their videos remind me of the adrenalin type videos mixed with the serene times with nature in some remote location. The special effects and animation add interest without being overwhelming. I encourage everyone to at least check on the Untamed Science About webpage.

Several months ago I read that Untamed Science was working on a video of the driftless area which is the part of the world that I live in. I was so excited and donated a small amount to the project through their Kickstarter. Last evening was the premire in LaCrosse Wisconsin, 30 miles from where I live so made the drive to LaCrosse. Underestimated the popularity of the video and like many people did not get into Weber Center after the 450 seating limit was exceeded. There was another show later but I have seen the video so went back to Winona happy that this project was such a success.
