About Me:

Greetings, my name is Robert Boyd.

I am a science communicator, filmmaker, speaker, and National Geographic explorer, with a love of all things nature.

I strive to create compelling narratives with my reporting, writing, and filmmaking. I produced a piece exploring zooplankton research at the Smithsonian Institution, and invasive species management at the Department of Interior.

While working as a video engineer intern aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, I facilitated and filmed live educational interactions between Ocean Exploration Trust staff, and on shore educational groups. I also controlled and monitored ROV mounted cameras, recording deep sea fauna found in the Gulf of California.

Previously, I worked with the National Park Service, using film to highlight the environmental and historical amenities of Manassas National Battlefield Park, Everglades National Park, and Indiana Dunes National Park. I served as a Post-Graduate Fellow with the Investigative Reporting Workshop and PBS Frontline, where I assisted with the creation of the Peabody nominated primetime documentary: The Healthcare Divide.

During the majority of 2022, I was on assignment in Barbados for a Fulbright - National Geographic Fellowship, where I am creating a documentary about the Barbados Threadsnake, one of the world’s smallest serpents.

I am active on social media, and my portfolio may be viewed here, www.boydrb.com/portfolio.
