'The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice' wins Outstanding Science and Technology Documentary at the News & Doc Emmy Awards for Wayback Wednesday


I wrote the following in 'Sally' leads Science and Technology Documentaries at the News & Doc Emmy Awards after watching the trailer for The Memory of Darkness Light and Ice.
Watching this trailer reminds me that I showed Chasing Ice to my students last week and this is week is Earth Week, making this a good movie to recommend to my students. Welcome to blogging as professional development. It also makes me think that it's the strongest competitor to Sally. Last year, I thought that the "Hunt for the Oldest DNA" episode of NOVA on PBS had the strongest science of all the nominees, but didn't have the best chance of winning. Surprise, it won! That could happen here.
It did. From Kathy Kasic's Instagram.
I’m so happy to report that The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice was awarded the a National Emmy for Outstanding Science and Technology documentary!! Our science and film team is beyond ecstatic!! It was a tremendous honor to be amongst so many great documentary filmmakers last night. This award elevates not just the film, but also the voices of the scientists and the documentary’s funder, the National Science Foundation.

As a scientist and filmmaker, my work aims to unify scientific research and share it with the public. This is especially important when the science we urgently need to hear is being attacked. So thank you to the @emmysnatas for this timely and beautiful award!!
Congratulations! To celebrate, I'm linking The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice, free to watch on Youtube with ads.

That's a wrap for today's post. Stay tuned for another retrospective tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy Wednesday Addams, the mascot for Wayback Wednesday.
