Before Flock of Dodos and Shifting Baselines, Randy Olson was inspiring the next generation of marine scientists with educational videos on topics in our field. My first semester in graduate school, I was dazzled by a particular captivating piece from 1991. Craig McClain referenced this project when he was in town (it's notorious in marine science circles), so yesterday I encouraged my pal RO to post his earlier work on youtube. Unforgettable footage that will leave you just a little more informed about the wonderful world of barnacles.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this...I'm lecturing on arthropods in, uh, 42 minutes and all I had was still pix for the barnacle-penis story. I am totally showing this.
Having done a little work for Art Clokey ( Gumby ) I learned to love claymation. This was hilarious.
Brilliant!
Thanks for encouraging him to upload this...
