Art x Science
EarthLab Art x Science programming explores the space where arts and sciences meet for the environment — in classrooms, in communities, in conservation practice, and in our research. This year, we have hosted three lunch and learn gatherings featuring a guest speaker, group discussion, and lunch provided by EarthLab. Faculty, staff and students who are currently working in this space or are curious to do so are encouraged to attend.
