#107 - Antarctica Series 20: Marlo Garnsworthy

Storytellers of STEMM

Today's storyteller is Marlo Garnsworthy! Marlo is an artist, illustrator, author, and science communicator. She has now travelled to Antarctica twice as an education and outreach officer aboard an Antarctic cruise ship, which is a really important role aboard those ships because they educate and interpret the landscape and environment for passengers. She says in this episode that she had a hard time to put her experience into words, which further shows why art is so important! In this episode we talk about her time in Antarctica, the blue iceberg that changed her life, the importance of art, her amazing story of getting to meet Jane Goodall, and we discuss our experiences and the ways that the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) changed our lives. Enjoy!
