Future of Nature Conference

Pictures, audio, and some video from this week’s “Future of Nature” held by Memorial University and with a great range of philosophers, geographers, geologists, artists, and so on. The west coast of Newfoundland is a unique and beautiful place and it was certainly one of my favorite times since arriving at MUN. The best part was the inclusion of local high schoolers learning about ecology, which included my son, who presented at a student-only thing and also was equally thrilled to see the various activities.

Up next, this week’s Schelling conference, which I’ll link to next.
