Fantastic speech! I, of course, especially love that you mentioned the human-nature connection and later, as part of your closing, urged the graduates to stay close to nature and take care of her. Yay! I also really appreciated that you said not only scientists are needed, that all fields can contribute and have something of value to offer. Brava!
🤩 So many congratulations in order here! Please do post a link to the CNN segment when it airs, and the commencement speech sounds perfect! Exciting times for you and your work, and for being a scientist, advocate for conservation, and educator.
Thanks, Ryan! I really appreciate the feedback on the speech. It was challenging to decide what to include in it! I'll also post a link once the CNN clip airs :)

Aww, thank you Jeanne! I really appreciate your feedback. This is exactly the message I was hoping to get across on how all can contribute!
