Enhancing scientific storytelling at the Chesapeake Watershed Forum

The weekend of November 7th was the 20th annual Chesapeake Watershed Forum in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The theme of this landmark Forum was “Shaping the Future of Conservation with Human-Centered Approaches." IAN staff Alexandra Fries, Conor Keitzer, Annie Carew, and Roshni Nair-Gonzalez attended the Forum. Annie and Rosh presented IAN's popular workshop "Storytelling for Science Communication" to over 60 practitioners from across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Forum attendees include researchers like us, natural resource managers, community advocates, and educators. We caught up with our partners and collaborators from the Chesapeake Monitoring Cooperative, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The Forum is always a lot of fun, and we're already looking forward to next year's!
