Ecogeeks : Untamed Science Video Podcast
Summary: A science video podcast that explains science topics in a fun and exciting way. Not only is it great for science teachers to download and show in the classroom but they are ideal for the nature lover. All of our hosts and filmmakers are also trained biologists. This is a unique show made by biologists for nature lovers. The faces of the show, the ecogeeks, include Rob Nelson, Haley Chamberlain, Jonas Stenstrom, Hazen Audel, Suze Roots, and Danni Washington. All podcasts and supplemental material from the podcasts can be seen through our website: www.untamedscience.com

Who are the Ecogeeks?
All living things we know of are a part of the Earth's biodiversity, the diversity of life. The concept of biodiversity can be divided up in levels such as: Ecosystems Species Genes (genetic diversity) The video explains all these topics.
This species spotlight is about Amblypigids, Tailless whip scorpions. Tailless whip scorpions (often called whip spiders), are scientifically referred to as amblypigids because they belong to the order Amblypigi. Amblypygids are arachnids. Spiders, scorpions, mites, daddy longlegs and other less well-known groups are their closest living relatives.

This special ecogeeks video is the first of our "crew-bio videos". Over the next few months we will intersperse these videos into our regular educational video lineup. We feel that each of our crew is an important mix to our large team of dedicated young scientist-filmmakers and we want you to know who they are.
The alpine tundra is the second video we have done on world biomes. We have highlighted the most important 20 biomes in both aquatic and biotic environments. Stay tuned as we explore a different one each episode.
Suzi Serengeti and Rob Nelson have decided to visit the Cedar Creek Natural History Area in Minnesota to examine why grasslands exist in this area instead of other biomes. During the process they run into CCNHA researchers Ramesh and Erin. They quickly explain some of the reasons why grasslands are dominant in this area. Then they show us a few of the experiments that exist around the main facilities.
Hazen Audel (snake wrangler and biologist) and Rob Nelson (filmmaker / biologist) have teamed up with Ecogeeks to explore the world of deadly snakes. In this episode we travel to Washington State University to visit Dr. Ken Kardong. He explains that determining the deadliest is tricky. There really is no way to determine one deadly snake, but we show you what factors are involved in making predictions.
