Welcome to Storyboards for Science, the podcast of the Digital Storytelling Studio at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. We’re your hosts, Courtney Rile and Tyler Dorholt.

Our guests Kristin Mosher and Bill Wallauer have spent much of their career documenting chimps for the Jane Goodall Institute, known as JGI. The organization is founded by and named after Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist and conservationist known for her research on chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in western Tanzania. Bill Wallauer is JGI’s research videographer and wildlife cinematographer as well as a scientific advisor and chimp expert. Kristin Mosher began her career as Director of Operations for JGI, and then transitioned to a career as a freelance photographer and sound recordist working to promote chimp conservation in East Africa. Their credits include National Geographic, BBC's “Planet Earth," and Disney Nature’s 2012 feature film “Chimpanzee,” among many others. When not following chimps in Tanzania, the couple lives in Syracuse, NY, not far from the main campus of SUNY ESF.

In this episode, we discuss how our guests found their way to wildlife film-making, and learn some tips from their experiences along the way.

From the day she began her legendary chimpanzee research in Gombe, Jane Goodall took an unconventional approach to her subjects. With open eyes and an open mind, she made discoveries that rocked the scientific world, forever changing the way we look at our closest living relatives- and ourselves.
