What stories might be told in a climate-changed future? How might the lives of future generations be shaped by decisions we make now and in our lifetimes? These are questions my collaborator, Jacqueline Arias, and I began to ask when creating the multimodal piece Rays of Resilience: a Vision of the Future, thinking about how our different strengths as artists might help us to imagine the future of the place we call home.

This video follows the perspective of Mother Nature, a personification of our distressed Earth, who is suffering from the effects of climate change and human actions such as deforestation. Through several original digital art pieces, I hope to tell a story about the importance of biodiversity. For me, being able to use this creative outlet to share such a powerful narrative shows that , using of their interests/talents, can raise awareness about environmental issues.

In my podcast, I explore the benefits of multifaceted and cross-sectoral approaches that bridge sustainability and environmental policy. I argue that environmental sustainability should not be an after-thought to economic or social development, but instead a foundational intention in the mission of global development. I explore ways that we can achieve the trifecta of environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and support for local communities through creative and collaborative pursuits.

What is the science behind science communication? How does social media spread misinformation surrounding science? Do journalists unknowingly pollute science communication? Are you inspiring awe in your science communication efforts?
