Storytellers of STEMM Podcast #111
created by Rachel Villani
Today's storytellers are Kirsten Carlson and Greg Neri! They are co-chairs of the Antarctic Artist and Writers Collective (AAWC), and they went to Antarctica together as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program in 2017. The AAWC brings together all past members of the NSF program together to collaborate to inspire and educate the public about Antarctica. Right now the AAWC has an online exhibit called "Adequate Earth" and you should definitely check that out because you can also see the exhibits that Kirsten & Greg contributed! Kirsten is a visual artist, has a science background, and a diver and she combines all of these things together in her work. Greg is a writer and filmmaker, and has written a dozen books for kids about various topics. They are both awesome and it was so great to talk to them and hear about their time in Antarctica, their work with AAWC, and their exhibits in the Adequate Earth online program. Enjoy!
