Outreach & Science Communication
FishTales Live Storytelling Event Series
Drawing on my background as an environmental journalist, I host an annual live storytelling event called FishTales, which invites scientists, writers, poets and comedians to tell 5-minute stories all around one theme: fish! These stories are sometimes funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes terrifying, but always engaging. Join us in our mutual love of stories about the ocean, rivers and streams—and the fascinating fish and folks that call them home. Read more about FishTales here.
