Scott Battaion - Media Coordinator 1995-96 Wright Fellow

I am Media Coordinator at the Wright Center for Innovative Science Education at Tufts University and also hold the same position on the WAIS Divide Outreach Program which is the educational outreach component of the WAIS Divide Ice Coring Project in Antarctica.  I am a former Wright Fellow and have worked in many aspects of multimedia production at the Wright Center for the last 10 years.

During the past 25 years I have held various positions in natural resource management, science education, and multimedia production.  As a forest ranger I participated in numerous activities ranging from field research to environmental education.  Most recently I have worked as an academic fellow and media coordinator at the Wright Center where I participate in the development a wide range of educational projects from astronomy to environmental science to climate change.

I took my A.A. degree in Forestry with an emphasis in photography, my B.A. was earned in Environmental Studies with a concentration in photography, and my M.A. focused on instructional technology and long/short term memory.  My current science education credential includes certifications to teach the following subject areas: biology, physical science, earth science, general science, forestry, horticulture, photography, and mathematics.

I live in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana with my wife, Jennifer, and two children, Elizabeth and Benjamin.

I will be deployed to Antarctica during the 2008-09 field season of the International Polar Year. I can't wait get into the field and create interesting and engaging educational materials (blog, podcasts, photos, video, etc.) related to the WAIS Divide ice coring project, so stay tuned!
