Nina Chung is Museum Program Coordinator at Edelman Fossil Park & Museum with a background in etymology and evolutionary biology. Nina has taught at Children’s School of Science, a summer camp in Woods Hole, MA and was an environmental education intern at Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She has a strong drive in making science more accessible to the general public, and for her Outreach Project, she did just that!
Nina decided to create content spotlighting lesser-known biodiversity via an Instagram Reel, and with this video project, she hoped to help people appreciate the value of biodiverse organisms and feel empowered to protect them.
With her already established science communication social media account, Evolutionina, she wanted to create a video that challenged her to tell her own stories and appear on camera, something she had not done yet. So she did exactly that and compiled a Reel educating the community about the Strawberry Poison Dart Frog. She plans to continue promoting biodiversity education through the lens of evolution by expanding this into a series on invertebrates & other lesser-known wildlife – because Chordata isn’t the only group that matters!
