Now, scientists there have taken a small step toward helping coral survive in a warmer world. For the first time, researchers have grown algae in a lab that can reduce coral bleaching, as it's known. The results are a notable advance in the growing field of assisted evolution, in which scientists are working to alter coral genetics to help them endure hotter water. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter125 Main Topic: Starting a YouTube Channel? Here's some things you'll need: 1. Camera (doesn't have to be anything fancy - Could be your phone!) 2. Tripod 3. Color Correcting Lens (Clip on orange filter...Polyp Lab, Orphek, Coralvue) 4. Mic, Remy's choice - Rode Lavelier mic for iPhone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EO4A7L0/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_ieDiFb1M0MWVA The 3 Levels of YouTubers we talked about today: 1. The Documenter - you're doing this YouTube Channel for you. You want to see your reef grow over time. This could be public or private. 2. The Presenter - you may want input from commenters, you may want to show things off and get feedback. Sharing your experience. 3. The Content Creator/Influencer - You're writing outlines, researching, making a video with the audience in mind. Consistently posting. Sustain your hobby with extra income. Some Tips from Remy's experience: -JUST DO IT. (I delayed for months and months...just do it!) -Have thick skin. Trolls await. It's inevitable, they will hurt your feelings. Focus on those that connect with you rather than the people who contribute negativity to the conversation. -Get a little better with each upload.
