“The intersection of science and storytelling”.
Yes, I think that this is especially important now.
Facts don’t change anyone’s opinion - stories do.
I learned this from Rachael Carson and her book “Silent Spring”. That basically caused the first environmental movement of the 60s and 70s.
I think that movement has been ended except in name only.
So this is why I think this program’s speaker and writer is so needed and is the best chance to make a positive change in our world today.
I highly recommend this video.
