I'm proud to share the first paper on co-creating water knowledge from our #IAHS #cocreatingwaterknowledge group! We're centering diverse knowledges in hydrology—a return to my ethnobotany roots. It's not always easy, but sparks creative ways of thinking about water. doi.org/10.1080/0262...

Co-creating water knowledge: a community perspective

Navigating the complexities of global and local water resources challenges requires collaboration and mutual learning among diverse knowledge systems and disciplines. However, Western philosophical...

I am very excited to present on my #SciComm work - past, present, and future - at this webinar for UWE's Science Communication Unit. "The SeriousGeoGames Lab - Immersive storytelling and Earth Arcades" October 16th, 12:30-13:30, Online, Registration required. https://buff.ly/4e9cW0o

I love this! Games are awesome and fun way to break the hiererachies of knowledge and get everyone into any type of discussion from climate change, awareness and preparedness, to zombies and intergallatic space travels with cats. @floodskinner.games maybe we should send some of our games to Simon 😁
