I hope you enjoy this video. My thought was to not make a "YouTube video" style video.... but to make something I would be proud of for years to come. About a year ago I was presented with an opportunity to go to a sea turtle conservation center in Costa Rica. There I met Valerie, an amazing conservation researcher who has a true passion for sea turtles. When I returned home I contacted Dr. Christine Finniger who taught me more. When the Cook Museum told me about their amazing opportunity with Kale the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, I was totally floored. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed the experience. Also, this is the first time DJI has sponsored Smarter Every Day. The Mavic Mini is going to be a great tool for upcoming videos. I've already shot a couple of things for upcoming videos with it. If you'd like to signal to them that you're glad they've decided to sponsor Smarter Every Day it would be awesome if you'd consider going here: →bit.ly/3ePEAjS ← and use promo code KLDE2Q87JZU9 to get 5% off when purchasing the DJI Mavic Mini or Mavic Mini Fly More Combo. They didn't tell me to put this in the comment section. I legitimately like the product and think you will too! As always, thanks for watching and supporting my efforts to learn all kinds of interesting things. I'm grateful for you. Regards, Destin

33:06 That's my sister!!! Turtles were the main reason she studied marine biology! It's so cool to see her talking about her passion to such a large audience!

Destin: "That's crazy!" Destiño: "¡Loco!"
-
50 minutes. And it was like an interactive lecture. Keep doing what you're doing Destin this is top quality content.

me : "I wonder what his next video will be about..." Destin : "I like turtles"

53:37 Classic Destin: I wanna know how the control surfaces of the fins work :D
-
My girl and I put this on to fall asleep to (not every day you get an hour of Destin) We did not fall asleep. This was just too dang good. Thank you for your amazing work, as always.
-
Just watched the whole vid and it revealed more about sea turtles that I feel I was needing to know, and Destin, THIS is why I subscribed
-
Learning has never been so much fun in my life. Many thanks. Greetings from Germany
-
The fact that this video is almost 1 hour and fully edited is amazing
-
"Just a reminder, this video is about Sea Turtles" (made my day).
-
What a lovely episode. It didn't feel like an hour at all. I like the way you 'invite yourself' and we get to come along too
-
Costa Rican here. One thing you forgot to mention is that due to the video with the straw video, there was a whole campaign here where small and big business stopped giving plastic straws. Also, the government passed a couple of laws banning styrofoam cups, plates, used for take out food.
-
Hey Destin - I never comment. Until now. This was really well done, and your passion and wonder for the world around you really shines through. Keep up the good work.

This man will be able to say he has done everything in the world in a couple years..

I’m a STEM teacher and keep a photo at the front of my classroom of a baby sea turtle struggling to the sea. I use it to remind students to persevere and struggle through hard things. All the feels every day. I will be sharing this video with them!

Since this is sponsored by DJI, I have to add something as a Mavic Mini owner myself: Great drone for the price and size. However: It is VERY sensitive to signal interference. I recommend having direct line of sight at all times. I had many "automatic return to home" situations because the drone lost contact to the controller. I previously had a Mavic Pro (first generation) and it was way more robust in that regard. And: beautiful video, really enjoyed watching it!
