EEB Tuesday Seminar Series- Outreach and education in the field: lessons from the Caribbean
Jacob Allgeier and Nepsis Garcia
Description: Outreach and education can have lasting impacts on communities and societies, particularly in the context of scientific research that is conducted in ecosystems that which communities directly depend on for economic means and subsistence. We will provide an overview of our approach to outreach and education in Caribbean coastal ecosystems to provide examples of intentional approaches that integrate scientific research with community engagement and education. Our goal throughout will be to engage the audience in participatory discussion about the values and challenges of conducting outreach and education in any sphere of scientific inquiry.
