AUGUST 2023

August 20-25: Attending the American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Looking forward to getting a taste of Grand Rapids while mixing and mingling with a delightfully fishy bunch of aquatic scientists and doing some sci comm facilitation at the Climate Communication Committee's session and workshop.

JUNE 2023

A triple threat month with performance, celebration, and travel for sci comm!

June 12-17: I am thrilled and honored to give a keynote on Finding Connection Through Science Communication at the 11th International Shallow Lakes Conference in Estonia! The theme "Lakes as mirrors of historical wisdom” speaks to me on many levels. Water is our past, present, and future. The more diverse community we build to protect it, the better hope we have for our future - what a wonderful way to meet more water-care kin.

MARCH & APRIL 2023

March and April are big months for the Genspace Creative Program Coordinators - that's me and my Sunk Shore partner Clarinda Mac Low!

For three Saturdays, we will be leading a game-filled Brain Awareness Carnival for 3rd-5th graders with the awesome Apex for Youth team of mentors, teachers, and community engagers who provide a broad expanse of programs to empower underserved Asian and immigrant youth from low-income families in NYC.

We will also be teaching the lovely science-curious crew of Uncommon Collegiate Charter High School students doing their afterschool enrichment program with Genspace. Can't wait to get them outside to creatively explore trees at Greenwood Cemetery and immerse them in some NYC shoreline waters with new partner Billion Oyster Project at our local Bush Terminal Park!!

And - April 30, 10am-1pm: Genspace and Greenwood Cemetery are teaming up to co-host family fun events for the world-wide City Nature Challenge. Nature experts will be there to lead walks, Genspace will have microscopes to get up-close with plants, insects, and pond water, and Sunk Shore will be leading an interactive, time traveling walk into the climate changing future with our tree kin - "Trees Future, Trees Past" ... join us!

JULY 2022

I am proud to announce that Clarinda Mac Low and I are the new Creative Program Coordinators for the terrific organization Genspace! That name has popped up in some of these timeline events because I've admired their mission and worked them a few times so this is a real honor. They provide microbiology science access to all and make a point to reach those who are typically underrepresented. They also love the sci-art crossover! Science is for everyone and as the Creative Program Coordinators, Clarinda and I plan to bring some more outreach to the community and more climate play along shorelines - of course! Many thanks to the Creatives Rebuild New York grant which made these positions possible.
