Scientists Serving Communities

On January 8 and 9, Annie Carew and Lili Badri attended the second annual Scientists Serving Communities workshop in College Park. The workshop aimed to bring together UMD researchers with expertise in climate adaptation and resilience and connect them with regional stakeholders and community members who will use the information to strengthen their communities. The workshop’s partners included UMCES Integration and Application Network, Charles County Resilience Authority, and Southern Maryland Resource Conservation and Development. The structure of this workshop was entirely panel-based discussion, with active participation by all attendees. The conversations were stimulating and interesting, and apply to IAN's work to engage with communities to identify environmental priorities and solutions.
