Cadell is also interested in exploring new digital mediums for science popularization. At the moment he is focused on building an animated educational YouTube channel with PBS Digital Studios (PBSDS), and collaborating with a new digital discussion community: Hubski. The first video was created with the idea of introducing new audiences to ideas and concepts from the world of evolutionary anthropology (check out the first video!). However, the first series with PBSDS will be an exploration of the history of science. And Hubski is a social network dedicated to promoting thoughtful discussion and is currently integrated with The Advanced Apes website.
