Multimedia Specialist
Andrew Scott has strayed a little from his start in marine biology. Ever since he got his hands on a video camera, he’s been driven to document the natural world on film. The call of science never left though, and he’s been combining his twin passions for science and storytelling ever since gaining his masters in science communication. It’s a path that's taken him from waist-deep mud his native Scotland to shark cages in New Zealand, urban rainforests in Singapore and corals under curfew in Honduras. He has an abiding passion for comedy too, and and on ongoing interest in using it as a science communication tool. Whether in the lab, the TV studio, and now to the reporter’s beat at OIST, “Scotty” is ready to be amazed by the stories Okinawa has to offer.
