These are short, science oriented videos that don't fit neatly into other categories. Many are just for fun, as I learn more about the world of video.

What is your name and how did you become a scientist
RE: How did I become a scientist
My name is Robert Krampf. My love of science started when I was about 4, and was obsessed with dinosaurs.
That grew into a hobby of collecting fossils, which led me to study geology in college. I got a job at the local science museum (The Memphis Pink Palace Museum) and worked there for 13 years, teaching geology, biology, chemistry, and physics. For the past 22 years, I have been roaming the country, presenting live shows and making videos, trying to show people how much fun science can be.
Question
Dear Mr. Krampf,
Do swallow tail kites use their tails to help steer them?
RE: Question
Yes, they use their tails more than their wings for steering. Watch how the tail rotates back and forth as the kite flies.

The video keeps stopping...it's downloading too slowly. It's been about 4 minutes so far and it's only downloaded about a tenth of the video.
