I’m working with Atlantic Public Media to host and co-produce a new podcast for the Encyclopedia of Life. Each biweekly episode features a different marine critter. We’re targeting tweens to teens, but we want everyone to listen! So share it as far and wide as the sea is deep!
My next piece aired on Studio 360 this weekend as part of their series on science and creativity. Have a listen!

Every year thousands of storm petrels summer on the remote islands to the north of Scotland. The arduous journey to see the small seabirds demands more than a birdwatcher’s interest — it requires the tenacity of a “twitcher,” someone who travels far to find rare birds. I made that trip, and here’s the resulting radio piece that aired on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday today.
I need your stories about the ocean by next Friday, 6 November! We’re teaming up with sound artist Halsey Burgund for the next episode of the Ocean Gazing podcast. He’s using the stories for a music composition, and I’ll feature them in the podcast. To submit your story, visit www.oceanvoices.org.
Here’s the current episode of Ocean Gazing. Imagine this same podcast, but featuring you!
We had our monthly sonic soiree (potluck gathering + radio listening party) tonight in the Cambridge part of Inman Square, MA. It was a great evening that included 8 radio peeps, the daughter of one of our radio peeps and a cat. In addition to gourmet pizza and homemade: salad, ratatouille, frozen yogurt and cookies, we listened to a variety of engaging radio pieces. Check ‘em out below. And if you want to come to next month’s, send me an email! We’ll share our audio editing sessions!
Predicting how an entire body of water circulates is no easy task. To do it in Prince William Sound up in Alaska, it took 3 ships, teams deployed in the field and in the lab, and a real balance between work and play. Check out the second segment of this 2-part Ocean Gazing podcast.
Twenty years ago, an environmental disaster rocked Prince William Sound in Alaska. Today, a team assembled from science, government and beyond is trying to help make sure it never happens again. Check out the first segment of this 2-part Ocean Gazing podcast.
I just attended a most remarkable meeting at the Media Lab at MIT about HEMBI, which stands for Human-Environment Mobile-Based Interactions. Researchers and artists met for 2 days to discuss how they use mobile devices to create interactive and meaningful engagements with the natural world. We heard about the ideas and technologies that are taking the invisible world around us, rendering it sensate (I mean, visual, auditory, experiential), and placing all that information in the palm of your hand. You can learn more on the HEMBI website.
One of the presenters told us about wordles, beautiful arrangements and piles of words. I made the one below using all the text from my dissertation. To make one yourself, click here!
