Starting Day 2 of the National Geographic Explorer's Festival

This evening I am starting day 2 of the Explorer's Festival with Explorers Symposium: Reflecting on a Year and a Legacy. 
"For 133 years, National Geographic has illuminated our world and what it means to be human. To reflect on the past year is to listen intently to voices new and old and to learn from immense change. To reflect on our legacy is to tell stories with an even more expansive audience and to engage in an even deeper exploration of the world. It's an hour and a half of inspiring discovery from across the world."
​One example - Justine Ammendolia, who is an amazing example of an adaptable young scientist making a difference in difficult circumstances, from a failed project in Greenland, to making the most of being stuck without a project in a city, during COVID. "When you're in the field and things fail, you have to adapt." 

Later on I will be joining my colleagues in polar research as we discuss a new Polar Hub to facilitate working together and sharing resources in this incredible part of the world.
