About The Feeding Tube

The Feeding Tube is the web video series that brings you the real facts behind popular food myths. "Food woo" is the most pervasive pop-pseudoscience out there right now, and it desperately needs debunking. Each 3-minute episode is suitable for general audiences and is produced by scientists for everyone.

It is a production of Skeptoid Media, a nonprofit that produces free science materials for educators and the general public. The Feeding Tube is funded 100% by tax-deductible viewer donations.

	Host Tamara Robertson Prior to joining the mainstream maker movement, Tamara spent a decade in corporate engineering during which she was pivotal in creating Women in Leadership mentorship programs. During this time she noted a lack of women walking through the doors so in 2015, she transitioned full time to outreach in hopes of inspiring more young women to pursue STEM careers. It was during this time that she was given the opportunity to battle it out for a chance to join the Mythbusters legacy where her lifetime as a tinkerer and collector of skills landed her as the only female finalist and 2-time MVP winner. Since then has become one of the leading female science hosts and engineers on the Science Channel lending her talents to Scijinks with Johnny Galecki, Mythbusters 2.0 with Brian Louden and Jon Lung, and most recently on Mythbusters Jr. with Adam Savage. In her spare time she travels the nation teaching "Superhero Science" and is the co-founder of the STEM outreach comic Seekers of Science.
