I have long been a fan of the team at Untamed Science. These guys are diverse, creative and adventurous in their storytelling and video production. Like myself, Haley Chamberlain-Nelson is a mother AND a science communicator. What better way to combine these two endeavours than to create a science-series about motherhood and parenting! Haley (and husband Rob Nelson, also of Untamed Science) recently welcomed their second son into the world, and being the die-hard video-enthusiasts that they are, they captured much of their journey on film. This new series is about something I’ve often thought deserves more attention in the media – the science of all aspects of parenthood.
