Join myself, Marissa of The Art of Ecology, and several guests for a series focusing on the intersection of art and the natural world! In each episode, we'll discuss the role that art can play to enhance understanding of environmental science topics, as well as connect people to the natural world!
In this episode, I chat with Kat Dale, about her work studying eels and other marine fishes, how she has utilized art as a form of science communication and data visualization, as well as how the public can engage with art to learn more about the dry data that science tells us.
