Side by Side: Youth-Authored Art-Science Exhibits to Broaden Participation in Climate Communication'' is a project that seeks to engage diverse youth as critical and informed climate communicators, generate clear pathways into STEM learning for diverse learners, and empower K-4th grade youth from historically marginalized communities to see themselves represented in STEM spaces. Teamed up with the Safran Lab, this project looks at barn swallows and their ecological & evolutionary connections between phenotypic and genomic variation and their associated population-level patterns to study speciation.
