What’s its survival secret? Slime, which can expand to 10,000 times its original volume in less than half a second once it hits seawater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>February 14 – Earthworm Sex:\u003c/strong> Each earthworm comes equipped with both eggs and sperm. So its chances of finding a date are great! And when they mate, they snuggle inside cozy slime tubes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>March 7 – Mussel Beard:\u003c/strong> A mussel’s “beard” is made of byssal fibers that they use to attach themselves to rocks, boat hulls and each other. Researchers are investigating this waterproof adhesive to create a glue for use in human fetal surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>March 28 – Frog Tongues:\u003c/strong> How can toads (and frogs) shoot their tongue out at breakneck speed - 5x faster than a human blink - to catch and swallow their dinner? It takes a shock-absorbing tongue, and a saliva that breaks the rules of fluid dynamics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>April 18 – Bird’s Nest Fungi:\u003c/strong> These delicate mushrooms look like small bird’s nests with many tiny eggs inside.

More details about the series’ initial line up are below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>January 24 – Hagfish Slime:\u003c/strong> This eel-like fish has been thriving for more than 300 million years. What’s its survival secret? Slime, which can expand to 10,000 times its original volume in less than half a second once it hits seawater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>February 14 – Earthworm Sex:\u003c/strong> Each earthworm comes equipped with both eggs and sperm. So its chances of finding a date are great! And when they mate, they snuggle inside cozy slime tubes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>March 7 – Mussel Beard:\u003c/strong> A mussel’s “beard” is made of byssal fibers that they use to attach themselves to rocks, boat hulls and each other. Researchers are investigating this waterproof adhesive to create a glue for use in human fetal surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>March 28 – Frog Tongues:\u003c/strong> How can toads (and frogs) shoot their tongue out at breakneck speed - 5x faster than a human blink - to catch and swallow their dinner? It takes a shock-absorbing tongue, and a saliva that breaks the rules of fluid dynamics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>April 18 – Bird’s Nest Fungi:\u003c/strong> These delicate mushrooms look like small bird’s nests with many tiny eggs inside. It only takes a single raindrop to bring this fungus to life, launching its spores far and wide. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nLaunched in 2014, \u003cem>Deep Look \u003c/em>is an award-winning YouTube wildlife series produced by KQED.

The three-year grant provided funding for an unprecedented research initiative between science media professionals and science communication academics with the goal of identifying how best to engage younger, more diverse audiences with science media. The project capped its research with a major national survey of science media habits in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This project has resulted in new approaches to STEM learning in informal environments that have the potential to transform the way science news is produced and delivered to the general public,” said \u003cstrong>NSF Program Officer Sandra H. Welch.\u003c/strong> “This collaboration between researchers and practitioners provides new protocols that can be used by science media producers to create targeted digital media for specific audiences based on the topics that appeal to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the pandemic to the extremes of climate change, it has been an especially critical time for science reporting and the public’s understanding of science,” said \u003cstrong>Sue Ellen McCann, lead principal investigator on the grant for KQED\u003c/strong>. “This generous NSF funding has allowed us to study science media engagement beyond traditional market research, and really dig into specific questions about our science content, working closely with the expertise of science communication researchers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of this project, KQED and Texas Tech University have:\u003cbr />\n• Advanced insight into younger audiences’ engagement with science media;\u003cbr />\n• Identified missing and future audiences;\u003cbr />\n• Developed best practices for collaborative in-depth audience research;\u003cbr />\n• Created a new model for collaboration between science media content staff and academic science communication researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been able to put science communications theories to the practical test.” said \u003cstrong>Asheley Landrum of Texas Tech University and co-principal investigator on the project\u003c/strong>. “Our research team now has a much better understanding of the challenges journalists face in reaching and engaging audiences, especially in this polarized media environment. In the process, we’ve helped KQED discover ways to amplify the engagement of science content for harder-to-reach audiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project built on Landrum’s and collaborators’ \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pops.12396\">existing science curiosity research.\u003c/a> They developed a survey tool called the Science Curiosity Scale (SCS), which measures science interest through a combination of behavioral and self-reported indicators. This research also expanded the understanding of underengaged or “missing” audiences for science media. For the purposes of this project, missing audiences are defined as individuals who are “science curious” but are not engaging with science content. Of note, one key feature of science curious people is that they are more likely than others to read stories that disagree with their own opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Media Survey 2021\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nTo wrap up the (CTC) project, KQED and Texas Tech research teams completed a new national survey in August 2021 of science media habits of younger audiences. The survey asked many of the same questions as in the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13669/cracking-the-code-survey-results-on-millennials-and-their-science-curiosity\">2018 first-ever national science media survey of millennials\u003c/a>. The team homed in on questions that emerged from the past three years of research with a focus on millennials (25-40 years old) who are of particular interest as they have already dramatically changed the way media is consumed. The recent survey also examined the media behaviors of a portion of Gen Z (18-24 years old), the next generation shifting an already fragmented media landscape. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16748/science-engagement-a-new-survey-in-2021\">Read a more detailed article on the new survey and its results here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from that survey include:\u003cbr />\n•\u003cstrong> Curious Audience:\u003c/strong> Science curiosity is the strongest predictor of engagement with science — far above any demographic characteristic. However, science curiosity can vary by demographics.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Topics by Generation:\u003c/strong> Adults 40 and younger are most interested in nature, wildlife, and psychology/behavioral science. Gen Z are the adults most interested in climate change. Health and medicine become more important with age.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Platforms Used:\u003c/strong> Millennials most commonly use search engines and websites to find public media science content. YouTube is also popular. Gen Zers commonly use TikTok, which is the least popular platform for science among millennials.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Missing Audience:\u003c/strong> Black and Hispanic millennial women seem to be the most frequently “missing” audiences for science from platforms such as live radio, podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube. This is not the case for these women Gen Zers.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Science Stories:\u003c/strong> Stories that explain something audiences are curious about in nature and the environment are much more popular than any other type of story, including news about scientific discoveries and climate change.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Story Credibility:\u003c/strong> Science curious Gen Zers trust their gut intuition about whether science stories are credible, but they also prioritize peer review and expertise. Science curious millennials say they rely primarily on peer review and expertise.\u003cbr />\nAdditional Research Highlights\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the national media surveys, CTC’s audience research centered on questions for two of KQED’s science properties: \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>, its YouTube series about unusual animals and plants; and science news reporting on the radio and online.\u003cbr />\n• How can KQED adapt and expand upon existing research to understand the role of science identity and curiosity in millennial engagement and interest in science media?\u003cbr />\n• Which editorial tactics, platform choices, media formats, and engagement strategies — can increase millennials' curiosity and interest in science content, with special attention given to underrepresented and underengaged, “missing” audiences within the millennial generation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/deep-look\">\u003cem>Deep Look \u003c/em>research \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• The YouTube algorithm is not determining \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s gender imbalance of 70 percent male vs. 30 percent female.\u003cbr />\n• Women and men with high science curiosity who watched \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> engaged with it equally.\u003cbr />\n• Women weren’t squeamish of “gross” content, but titles that emphasize useful information (health, medicine) appear to engage more women.\u003cbr />\n• Behind-the-scenes photos are less expensive and just as effective as behind-the-scenes-videos at engaging Deep Look’s missing audience of women, both science curious and not.\u003cbr />\n• Aesthetics and attractiveness are very important in thumbnail images. Specifically, intense colors and images that elicit curiosity or are perceived as \"charming\" engage more women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s preliminary\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13722/experimenting-with-science-news-headline-format-to-maximize-engagement\">science news research\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• Stories with forward referencing headlines (Ex. Here’s What Little Earthquakes Tell Scientists About the Likelihood of the Big One ) had a greater probability of being categorized as “real” news than the traditional or question (Do Little Earthquakes Mean the Big One is Close at Hand?) headline formats.\u003cbr />\n• Although science curiosity predicted anticipated engagement, participants generally (and millennials in particular) saw question-based headlines as less credible. Millennials were less likely to categorize these stories as real news (choosing “fake news” or “satire”) than they were the other headline types.\u003cbr />\n• The intuitive method of sparking curiosity via asking questions to increase engagement could be seen as click bait and result, instead, in loss of credibility — something that the news media, and science news in particular, cannot afford to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16981/when-science-news-is-awesome\">The science news team began a study to find out whether stories aimed at generating “awe” would drive deeper engagement\u003c/a>. From a preliminary study the team learned people can feel experiences like connectedness and vastness, not only through images but through a written story. The team intended to write their own science stories through an \"awe\" framework, but the pandemic redirected the team's work, and halted testing of participants’ response to the articles, which would have required the use of Texas Tech's Psychophysiology Lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16011/mask-messaging-for-covid19\">COVID-19 Mask research\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr />\n• Political party was the strongest predictor of participants’ beliefs about COVID-19 risks, mask-wearing, and policy support.\u003cbr />\n• Presenting participants with a written scientific consensus message did not significantly influence their beliefs.\u003cbr />\n• Viewing an infographic depicting how masks help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 increased study participants’ agreement that wearing masks can effectively keep the wearer and others safe, specifically among more skeptical audiences (such as men and Republicans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: The Mask study was one of several conducted under an additional 2020 NSF Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant to study COVID-19 related messaging and communication around the virus. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/about/tag/covid19\">Find out more about the project’s COVID-19 research here.\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16182/kqed-science-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-changing-nature-of-disaster-reporting\">Also, a comprehensive evaluation about reporting during a crisis/disaster can be found here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key takeaways from the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/scottburg\">project’s evaluation\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> include:\u003cbr />\n• By learning firsthand the kinds of issues that science media content producers and news reporters experience on a day-to-day basis, researchers better understand how their work can impact media practice.\u003cbr />\n• Media practitioners’ exposure to a variety of new research tools and methods raised their awareness and understanding of the importance of science communication and audience research.\u003cbr />\n• It is most helpful to media professionals when researchers can translate study findings into actionable insights.\u003cbr />\n• Building in regular opportunities for participant reflection and contextualizing of study results is imperative for the success and sustainability of these types of collaborations.\u003cbr />\n• Challenges in aligning long-term audience research with the demand for rapid science news reporting need to be considered.\u003cbr />\n• Dissemination of findings is just as an important undertaking as the research itself. Identifying target audiences for dissemination and determining the way in which findings would be best communicated regularly to those audiences is critical if the research is to have a lasting impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">KQED.org/CrackingtheCode,\u003c/a> for all of CTC’s research reports and project evaluation reports.

The three-year grant provided funding for an unprecedented research initiative between science media professionals and science communication academics with the goal of identifying how best to engage younger, more diverse audiences with science media.

This research also expanded the understanding of underengaged or “missing” audiences for science media. For the purposes of this project, missing audiences are defined as individuals who are “science curious” but are not engaging with science content. Of note, one key feature of science curious people is that they are more likely than others to read stories that disagree with their own opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Media Survey 2021\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nTo wrap up the (CTC) project, KQED and Texas Tech research teams completed a new national survey in August 2021 of science media habits of younger audiences. The survey asked many of the same questions as in the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13669/cracking-the-code-survey-results-on-millennials-and-their-science-curiosity\">2018 first-ever national science media survey of millennials\u003c/a>. The team homed in on questions that emerged from the past three years of research with a focus on millennials (25-40 years old) who are of particular interest as they have already dramatically changed the way media is consumed. The recent survey also examined the media behaviors of a portion of Gen Z (18-24 years old), the next generation shifting an already fragmented media landscape. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16748/science-engagement-a-new-survey-in-2021\">Read a more detailed article on the new survey and its results here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from that survey include:\u003cbr />\n•\u003cstrong> Curious Audience:\u003c/strong> Science curiosity is the strongest predictor of engagement with science — far above any demographic characteristic. However, science curiosity can vary by demographics.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Topics by Generation:\u003c/strong> Adults 40 and younger are most interested in nature, wildlife, and psychology/behavioral science. Gen Z are the adults most interested in climate change. Health and medicine become more important with age.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Platforms Used:\u003c/strong> Millennials most commonly use search engines and websites to find public media science content. YouTube is also popular. Gen Zers commonly use TikTok, which is the least popular platform for science among millennials.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Missing Audience:\u003c/strong> Black and Hispanic millennial women seem to be the most frequently “missing” audiences for science from platforms such as live radio, podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube. This is not the case for these women Gen Zers.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Science Stories:\u003c/strong> Stories that explain something audiences are curious about in nature and the environment are much more popular than any other type of story, including news about scientific discoveries and climate change.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Story Credibility:\u003c/strong> Science curious Gen Zers trust their gut intuition about whether science stories are credible, but they also prioritize peer review and expertise. Science curious millennials say they rely primarily on peer review and expertise.\u003cbr />\nAdditional Research Highlights\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the national media surveys, CTC’s audience research centered on questions for two of KQED’s science properties: \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>, its YouTube series about unusual animals and plants; and science news reporting on the radio and online.\u003cbr />\n• How can KQED adapt and expand upon existing research to understand the role of science identity and curiosity in millennial engagement and interest in science media?\u003cbr />\n• Which editorial tactics, platform choices, media formats, and engagement strategies — can increase millennials' curiosity and interest in science content, with special attention given to underrepresented and underengaged, “missing” audiences within the millennial generation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/deep-look\">\u003cem>Deep Look \u003c/em>research \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• The YouTube algorithm is not determining \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s gender imbalance of 70 percent male vs. 30 percent female.\u003cbr />\n• Women and men with high science curiosity who watched \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> engaged with it equally.\u003cbr />\n• Women weren’t squeamish of “gross” content, but titles that emphasize useful information (health, medicine) appear to engage more women.\u003cbr />\n• Behind-the-scenes photos are less expensive and just as effective as behind-the-scenes-videos at engaging Deep Look’s missing audience of women, both science curious and not.\u003cbr />\n• Aesthetics and attractiveness are very important in thumbnail images. Specifically, intense colors and images that elicit curiosity or are perceived as \"charming\" engage more women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s preliminary\u003cstrong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13722/experimenting-with-science-news-headline-format-to-maximize-engagement\">science news research\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>include:\u003cbr />\n• Stories with forward referencing headlines (Ex. Here’s What Little Earthquakes Tell Scientists About the Likelihood of the Big One ) had a greater probability of being categorized as “real” news than the traditional or question (Do Little Earthquakes Mean the Big One is Close at Hand?) headline formats.\u003cbr />\n• Although science curiosity predicted anticipated engagement, participants generally (and millennials in particular) saw question-based headlines as less credible. Millennials were less likely to categorize these stories as real news (choosing “fake news” or “satire”) than they were the other headline types.\u003cbr />\n• The intuitive method of sparking curiosity via asking questions to increase engagement could be seen as click bait and result, instead, in loss of credibility — something that the news media, and science news in particular, cannot afford to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16981/when-science-news-is-awesome\">The science news team began a study to find out whether stories aimed at generating “awe” would drive deeper engagement\u003c/a>. From a preliminary study the team learned people can feel experiences like connectedness and vastness, not only through images but through a written story. The team intended to write their own science stories through an \"awe\" framework, but the pandemic redirected the team's work, and halted testing of participants’ response to the articles, which would have required the use of Texas Tech's Psychophysiology Lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from the project’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16011/mask-messaging-for-covid19\">COVID-19 Mask research\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr />\n• Political party was the strongest predictor of participants’ beliefs about COVID-19 risks, mask-wearing, and policy support.\u003cbr />\n• Presenting participants with a written scientific consensus message did not significantly influence their beliefs.\u003cbr />\n• Viewing an infographic depicting how masks help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 increased study participants’ agreement that wearing masks can effectively keep the wearer and others safe, specifically among more skeptical audiences (such as men and Republicans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: The Mask study was one of several conducted under an additional 2020 NSF Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant to study COVID-19 related messaging and communication around the virus. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/about/tag/covid19\">Find out more about the project’s COVID-19 research here.\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16182/kqed-science-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-changing-nature-of-disaster-reporting\">Also, a comprehensive evaluation about reporting during a crisis/disaster can be found here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key takeaways from the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/tag/scottburg\">project’s evaluation\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> include:\u003cbr />\n• By learning firsthand the kinds of issues that science media content producers and news reporters experience on a day-to-day basis, researchers better understand how their work can impact media practice.\u003cbr />\n• Media practitioners’ exposure to a variety of new research tools and methods raised their awareness and understanding of the importance of science communication and audience research.\u003cbr />\n• It is most helpful to media professionals when researchers can translate study findings into actionable insights.\u003cbr />\n• Building in regular opportunities for participant reflection and contextualizing of study results is imperative for the success and sustainability of these types of collaborations.\u003cbr />\n• Challenges in aligning long-term audience research with the demand for rapid science news reporting need to be considered.\u003cbr />\n• Dissemination of findings is just as an important undertaking as the research itself. Identifying target audiences for dissemination and determining the way in which findings would be best communicated regularly to those audiences is critical if the research is to have a lasting impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visit \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">KQED.org/CrackingtheCode,\u003c/a> for all of CTC’s research reports and project evaluation reports.

The three-year grant provided funding for an unprecedented research initiative between science media professionals and science communication academics with the goal of identifying how best to engage younger, more diverse audiences with science media. The project capped its research with a major national survey of science media habits in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This project has resulted in new approaches to STEM learning in informal environments that have the potential to transform the way science news is produced and delivered to the general public,” said \u003cstrong>NSF Program Officer Sandra H. Welch.\u003c/strong> “This collaboration between researchers and practitioners provides new protocols that can be used by science media producers to create targeted digital media for specific audiences based on the topics that appeal to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the pandemic to the extremes of climate change, it has been an especially critical time for science reporting and the public’s understanding of science,” said \u003cstrong>Sue Ellen McCann, lead principal investigator on the grant for KQED\u003c/strong>. “This generous NSF funding has allowed us to study science media engagement beyond traditional market research, and really dig into specific questions about our science content, working closely with the expertise of science communication researchers.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of this project, KQED and Texas Tech University have:\u003cbr />\n• Advanced insight into younger audiences’ engagement with science media;\u003cbr />\n• Identified missing and future audiences;\u003cbr />\n• Developed best practices for collaborative in-depth audience research;\u003cbr />\n• Created a new model for collaboration between science media content staff and academic science communication researchers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been able to put science communications theories to the practical test.” said \u003cstrong>Asheley Landrum of Texas Tech University and co-principal investigator on the project\u003c/strong>. “Our research team now has a much better understanding of the challenges journalists face in reaching and engaging audiences, especially in this polarized media environment. In the process, we’ve helped KQED discover ways to amplify the engagement of science content for harder-to-reach audiences.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project built on Landrum’s and collaborators’ \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pops.12396\">existing science curiosity research.\u003c/a> They developed a survey tool called the Science Curiosity Scale (SCS), which measures science interest through a combination of behavioral and self-reported indicators. This research also expanded the understanding of underengaged or “missing” audiences for science media. For the purposes of this project, missing audiences are defined as individuals who are “science curious” but are not engaging with science content. Of note, one key feature of science curious people is that they are more likely than others to read stories that disagree with their own opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>National Media Survey 2021\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nTo wrap up the (CTC) project, KQED and Texas Tech research teams completed a new national survey in August 2021 of science media habits of younger audiences. The survey asked many of the same questions as in the project’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/13669/cracking-the-code-survey-results-on-millennials-and-their-science-curiosity\">2018 first-ever national science media survey of millennials\u003c/a>. The team homed in on questions that emerged from the past three years of research with a focus on millennials (25-40 years old) who are of particular interest as they have already dramatically changed the way media is consumed. The recent survey also examined the media behaviors of a portion of Gen Z (18-24 years old), the next generation shifting an already fragmented media landscape. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/16748/science-engagement-a-new-survey-in-2021\">Read a more detailed article on the new survey and its results here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key findings from that survey include:\u003cbr />\n•\u003cstrong> Curious Audience:\u003c/strong> Science curiosity is the strongest predictor of engagement with science — far above any demographic characteristic. However, science curiosity can vary by demographics.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Topics by Generation:\u003c/strong> Adults 40 and younger are most interested in nature, wildlife, and psychology/behavioral science. Gen Z are the adults most interested in climate change. Health and medicine become more important with age.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Platforms Used:\u003c/strong> Millennials most commonly use search engines and websites to find public media science content. YouTube is also popular. Gen Zers commonly use TikTok, which is the least popular platform for science among millennials.\u003cbr />\n• \u003cstrong>Missing Audience:\u003c/strong> Black and Hispanic millennial women seem to be the most frequently “missing” audiences for science from platforms such as live radio, podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube.

Then they rappel down on a strand of silk, twirling and swinging. If you were enjoying the shade, good luck getting out of their way. For the oak, the caterpillars are a bigger deal –– will the tree survive?\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Jan 26 -\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1XFi9r3dIE\">These Mites Rain Down To Save Your Strawberries\u003c/a> -- Two tiny mites duke it out on strawberry plants throughout California. One is a spider mite that sucks the juices out of the delicious crop and destroys it. The other, persimilis, is a crafty predator that growers drop by the thousands from high-tech drones to protect their fields.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Feb 9 -\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/zz8P8ig459g\">These Acrobatic Beach Hoppers Shred All Night Long\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong> \u003cem>(Video Link Embargoed until Feb 9, 6am PST)\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> -- At night, these tiny crustaceans become a beach-cleaning crew, eating so much decaying seaweed that in the morning all that’s left is an outline in the sand where the kelp used to lie.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Feb 23 - Firebrats\u003c/strong> -- What is that bizarre fish-shaped insect running in your sink? With three long filaments poking out their back, no wings, and offspring that look like tiny adults, firebrats and silverfish have something to teach us about what it means to be an insect.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>March 9 - Aphids\u003c/strong> -- The bane of gardeners and farmers alike, aphids show up suddenly and take over, sucking the sap out of plants’ leaves. Female aphids clone themselves and give birth to live babies that are already pregnant with the next generation. Oh, and they pay ants off for protection. But don’t worry, aphids do have a few choice enemies.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>March 23 - Mexican Jumping Bean\u003c/strong> -- Often sold as novelty items, these beans are actually the seed capsules of a shrub that has been taken over by the tiny larvae of a gray moth.

"content": "\u003cp>It’s a typical promotional tactic: show people how the sauce is made and people will be more interested in that sauce. But, are the results worth the time and money it takes to capture “the making-of”? “Of course!” you might say if you are thinking of a feature film, documentary or the latest TikTok star. But, what if you have a small production team, high production values and not a lot of extra time or resources to capture additional footage or photos of producers out in the field, let alone create behind-the-scenes videos for all of your 100+ episodes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be more specific, for an award-winning, public media YouTube science and nature series like KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/deeplook\">\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which delights its audiences by exploring unusual, tiny animals and plants up-close in ultra-high definition, how do you quantify and assess the value of different kinds of behind-the-scenes content when your original short videos are so fantastic at engaging your target audience? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> was originally created to reach a younger science-inclined audience and it has achieved this goal as 70 percent of its viewers are aged 18-34, much younger than the traditional PBS primetime viewer or listener. And the series is a success in terms of its engagement metrics -- it’s KQED’s most popular online production with 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and over 180 million views. Nevertheless, \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s audience on YouTube is predominantly male, 70% male to 30% female. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/14560/cracking-the-code-survey-takes-a-deep-look-at-science-video-audience-and-gender-disparity\">This prominent gender disparity was explored in an earlier study\u003c/a> which preceded \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s foray into the study described below related to its behind-the-scenes content.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s viewers mostly see tiny extraordinary creatures on screen with an off-camera female host to guide them through some surprisingly sticky -- and at times gruesome dilemmas, especially in the insect world. Deep Look episodes take about six weeks to produce from start to finish, and 2-3 hours of footage is filmed for each three to four minute episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED science’s engagement staff thought that behind-the-scenes videos and photos showing \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s producers, cinematographer and the scientists they work with could make the series more relatable and accessible, and engage a wider audience. Engagement staff were eager to have more behind-the-scenes content that would also help to humanize the series by showing how much care, effort and attention goes into filming each episode and reveal the stellar production staff that creates \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>. But it was challenging for the \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> team to capture behind-the-scenes content while simultaneously creating their primary content. And sending out a second crew to accompany the \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> team was costly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shooting in nature is always a challenge and wildlife is always unpredictable,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/joshua-cassidy\">Josh Cassidy, \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> ’s cinematographer and lead producer\u003c/a>. “From a technical point of view, you’re taking expensive electronic and optical equipment out into inhospitable environments. There’s never a guarantee that the banana slugs or turret spiders will cooperate. It’s all about staying flexible and being persistent. We don’t have a lot of time to capture extra behind-the-scenes type of footage because we don’t want to miss the amazing behaviour of the animal we came out to film.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s science engagement team was eager to discover the true value of \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> behind-the-scenes content. They had produced a few behind-the-scenes videos that were never officially released on \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s YouTube channel for fear that the behind-the-scenes videos would negatively affect how the YouTube algorithm treats \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s regular videos. These behind-the-scenes videos were only linked to as promotional tools on KQED’s social media platforms.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working closely with science communication researchers from \u003ca href=\"https://www.depts.ttu.edu/comc/faculty/faculty/alandrum.php\">Texas Tech University\u003c/a> as a part of the NSF-funded \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">Cracking the Code Project\u003c/a>, the engagement team decided to use \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1602625/decorator-crabs-make-high-fashion-at-low-tide\">decorator crabs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1932072/a-sand-dollars-breakfast-is-totally-metal\">sand dollar\u003c/a> episodes, which both have full behind-the-scenes videos, photos and out-takes, to develop a survey to answer the following questions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Are there measurable benefits to providing audiences with behind-the-scenes content?\u003cbr />\nIf so, are the benefits from providing high-quality produced behind-the-scenes video content greater than those from providing other, less resource-intensive types of behind-the-scenes content, like photos and video out-takes?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>1,045 participants from a nationally representative population sample of men and women took \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s behind-the-scenes survey.

Women low in science curiosity who watched the produced BTS content rated \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> as more authentic and demonstrated greater engagement than women of similar science curiosity who only watched the original episode. On the other hand, men low in science curiosity who watched the original episode perceived \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> as more authentic than watching the episode with the appended produced BTS video.

But, are the results worth the time and money it takes to capture “the making-of”? “Of course!” you might say if you are thinking of a feature film, documentary or the latest TikTok star. But, what if you have a small production team, high production values and not a lot of extra time or resources to capture additional footage or photos of producers out in the field, let alone create behind-the-scenes videos for all of your 100+ episodes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be more specific, for an award-winning, public media YouTube science and nature series like KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/deeplook\">\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which delights its audiences by exploring unusual, tiny animals and plants up-close in ultra-high definition, how do you quantify and assess the value of different kinds of behind-the-scenes content when your original short videos are so fantastic at engaging your target audience? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> was originally created to reach a younger science-inclined audience and it has achieved this goal as 70 percent of its viewers are aged 18-34, much younger than the traditional PBS primetime viewer or listener. And the series is a success in terms of its engagement metrics -- it’s KQED’s most popular online production with 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and over 180 million views. Nevertheless, \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s audience on YouTube is predominantly male, 70% male to 30% female. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/about/14560/cracking-the-code-survey-takes-a-deep-look-at-science-video-audience-and-gender-disparity\">This prominent gender disparity was explored in an earlier study\u003c/a> which preceded \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s foray into the study described below related to its behind-the-scenes content.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s viewers mostly see tiny extraordinary creatures on screen with an off-camera female host to guide them through some surprisingly sticky -- and at times gruesome dilemmas, especially in the insect world. Deep Look episodes take about six weeks to produce from start to finish, and 2-3 hours of footage is filmed for each three to four minute episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED science’s engagement staff thought that behind-the-scenes videos and photos showing \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s producers, cinematographer and the scientists they work with could make the series more relatable and accessible, and engage a wider audience. Engagement staff were eager to have more behind-the-scenes content that would also help to humanize the series by showing how much care, effort and attention goes into filming each episode and reveal the stellar production staff that creates \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>. But it was challenging for the \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> team to capture behind-the-scenes content while simultaneously creating their primary content. And sending out a second crew to accompany the \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> team was costly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shooting in nature is always a challenge and wildlife is always unpredictable,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/joshua-cassidy\">Josh Cassidy, \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> ’s cinematographer and lead producer\u003c/a>. “From a technical point of view, you’re taking expensive electronic and optical equipment out into inhospitable environments. There’s never a guarantee that the banana slugs or turret spiders will cooperate. It’s all about staying flexible and being persistent. We don’t have a lot of time to capture extra behind-the-scenes type of footage because we don’t want to miss the amazing behaviour of the animal we came out to film.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s science engagement team was eager to discover the true value of \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> behind-the-scenes content. They had produced a few behind-the-scenes videos that were never officially released on \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s YouTube channel for fear that the behind-the-scenes videos would negatively affect how the YouTube algorithm treats \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s regular videos. These behind-the-scenes videos were only linked to as promotional tools on KQED’s social media platforms.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working closely with science communication researchers from \u003ca href=\"https://www.depts.ttu.edu/comc/faculty/faculty/alandrum.php\">Texas Tech University\u003c/a> as a part of the NSF-funded \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/crackingthecode\">Cracking the Code Project\u003c/a>, the engagement team decided to use \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1602625/decorator-crabs-make-high-fashion-at-low-tide\">decorator crabs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1932072/a-sand-dollars-breakfast-is-totally-metal\">sand dollar\u003c/a> episodes, which both have full behind-the-scenes videos, photos and out-takes, to develop a survey to answer the following questions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Are there measurable benefits to providing audiences with behind-the-scenes content?\u003cbr />\nIf so, are the benefits from providing high-quality produced behind-the-scenes video content greater than those from providing other, less resource-intensive types of behind-the-scenes content, like photos and video out-takes?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>1,045 participants from a nationally representative population sample of men and women took \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>’s behind-the-scenes survey.

Women low in science curiosity who watched the produced BTS content rated \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> as more authentic and demonstrated greater engagement than women of similar science curiosity who only watched the original episode. On the other hand, men low in science curiosity who watched the original episode perceived \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> as more authentic than watching the episode with the appended produced BTS video.

The four-and-half-minute film is all about a fungus that invades and kills flies, forcing them into a gruesome death pose so that it can shoot out its reproductive spores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What a surprise and honor!\" says Gabriela Quirós, the film's producer. \"Josh Cassidy, our series cinematographer, did a beautiful job capturing the timelapses of the fungus oozing out of the flies. And composer Seth Samuel created an extra creepy score for this episode. If you're looking for an early Halloween scare, this is it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> would also like to thank the scientist they worked with, who provided Quirós and Cassidy with incredible access to her infected fruit flies. “We featured the work of Carolyn Elya, a researcher at Harvard. She has tremendous curiosity and energy,” says Quirós. Elya, who grew up in Danville, studied how the fungus invades and kills fruit flies while getting her Ph.D. at UC Berkeley. She is a \u003ca href=\"https://oeb.harvard.edu/people/carolyn-elya\">postdoctoral researcher in the de Bivort lab\u003c/a> at Harvard University, where \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> filmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oscars® of wildlife filmmaking, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.jacksonwild.org/media-awards.html\">Jackson Wild Media Awards\u003c/a> celebrate excellence and innovation in science and nature storytelling. Their Animal Behavior Short Form Award was given to the film under 15 minutes that most effectively explores animal behavior in a new, fresh, imaginative or illuminating way. \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em> was in competition with one of its other short films about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1947369/kidnapper-ants-steal-other-ants-babies-and-brainwash-them\">kidnapper ants\u003c/a>, as well as films about sea slugs produced by Curiosity Stream and about honeybee brains by Rebel Media Productions in association with Long Story Short Media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More About \u003cem>Deep Look\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nLaunched in October 2014, Deep Look is presented on the PBS Digital Studios YouTube network and has over 1.5 million subscribers, in addition to more than 180 million total views, making it KQED’s most successful web video production. Deep Look’s videos are shot in ultra-HD (4K) and use macro cinematography and microscopy to reveal small, hidden worlds in nature. Deep Look releases 20 new videos per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
