This video excited a diversity of non-scientists of all ages and backgrounds. This experience made us appreciate the power of internet-based video as a unifying force between science and the general public (which science is intended to serve, but fails at doing so without public support).
This unexpected experience hit Mike and Heather like a ton of bricks in their final hours living and doing research full-time on the island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia. It instills an important lesson: we are all in this together, but we need science to point us in the right direction to succeed. If we ignore science and the objective truths it offers, awe-inspiring lives like these (and human life) will suffer.
