I worked with Ela Lamblin of the performance company Lelavision to create an educational video on fertilization in flowering plants, which we named “Fertile Eyes.” This video won the Grand Prize in the Chlorofilms video contest, 2009. Click to start the movie, which features an original musical score by Ela.

Lelavision and I developed an art and science educational piece on flowers and pollen, which we performed at Oxford College of Emory University, supported by the Emory College Program in Science and Society. We also performed a children’s version called “The Anther, My Friend” 13 times, to over 1200 school children in St. Paul, MN, as part of the Flint Hills International Children’s Festival, July, 2009.
