It is an extension of my “Among the Tides” work, a photographic series focused on ocean debris and climate change awareness. Rather than concentrating on pollution, Between Tides shifts the focus of my artistic practice to researching the aquatic life found in intertidal zones.  Through curiosity, observation, and teamwork, this interdisciplinary adventure takes place in coastal regions of Scotland, Ireland, England, and back home to New England.” - Elizabeth Ellenwood @elizabeth_ellenwood ❤️ 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 art-sci projects by donating via the 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗢. –––––––– 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 We provide scholarship stipends for artists, designers, writers, and experts with scientific and traditional knowledge to support their creative process, including making art informed by science that inspires conservation action.

A scientific abstract can tell you a species is declining. A story can make you feel what that loss means and why it should change how you live. In this episode Claudia talks to Lucy Spelman, Susan Tacent, and Christopher Kondrich, the co-editors behind Creature Needs, a striking book that juxtaposes conservation science with poems, essays, and fiction written in response. They discuss the book, writing as a means of connection, and the politics of conservation.
