Ghost towns are remnants of lost communities but also a testament to nature's persistence.

"It's a little bit like a monkey compared to the elephant in the room which is sea level rise combined with storm surges," says the great Klaus Jacob who always knows how to bring it back to the real issue. Thanks @AlexanderTrow @BBCWorld bbc.com/reel/video/p0fty0f0/…

New Field Testing episode! My favorite part: an interview with Dalziel Lewis, founder of Dig Deep Farm in Maine. Tools used: an elaborate selfie rig & @FiLMiCPro's DoubleTake app, which records footage from your phone's front & back cameras simultaneously. niemanstoryboard.org/stories…
