This webinar will talk to meteorologist Victor Gensini and mechanical engineer John Shelton, who are exploring human impact on the environment, researching ways to mitigate the damage and laying groundwork for a more sustainable future. STEAM will also talk to author Jeff VanderMeer, whose writing explores themes related to the environment, animals and our future.

VanderMeer has been called “the weird Thoreau” by The New Yorker. His books, like Annihilation and Hummingbird Salamander, imagine worlds where nature is more than just a backdrop; it’s an active entity that has decided to fight back. After the panel discussion, the audience is invited to participate in a Q&A with the scientist.
