@nbc6 Everglades National Park is a major hub for research in Florida, but there are still many mysteries within its ecosystem, which is something that Jordon King, an unconventional scientist, is trying to uncover. King is committed to science and interested in what “floc” can tell us about the changes in the Everglades over time due to human intervention, such as freshwater restoration.

Video #16916 · Talking Head Edit
[01]
The creator, Everglades scientist Jordon King, explains his philosophy of not judging by appearances and how his personal style breaks the mold of a typical scientist. A narrator then introduces his research on 'floc,' after which King and animated graphics explain how floc forms sediment, which allows plants to grow, which in turn supports the entire ecosystem. The video shows clips of his popular social media content and concludes with him stating his goal is to inspire others to get involved in science.

How to become a scientist
Feel like you shouldn't judge a book worse cover because you never truly know, like, what someone is doing or who they are. Rank you. I think what makes me stand out is my personal style. Me best being myself and not conforming to the standard of a scientist. Jordan King is committed to science and what flock can tell us about the changes in the Everglades over time due to human intervention, such as freshwater restoration. So flock is looser and soil is more compact. But what's flock? The flock is what helps to form the sediment. So without flock and there's no sediment, and if there's no sediment, that means that, you know, plants can't grow because plants need soil and sediment to grow. Without plants, animals don't have anything they can eat or, like, inhabit. And then they don't have anything to best, tier ecosystem becomes like a whole mess. How many of these have you collected over the years? Over the years? Or across to research in general? Definitely tier 200. His dedication has earned them a master's degree from Florida International University. I just got bored one day and just started posting videos because I thought my research was cool and people might find it cool, and then it just kinda took off from there. Not a human night at all. And whether he's bringing awareness to invasive species, giving grad school advice, or collecting flock samples, one thing is clear, Jordan's fascination with the field. You're just kinda, like, inspiring people and kinda pushing them to, like, get involved in science if they if they're interested.
