#bioPGH: Botany in Action Science Engagement Week
A resource of Biophilia: Pittsburgh, #bioPGH is a weekly blog and social media series that aims to encourage both children and adults to reconnect with nature and enjoy what each of our distinctive seasons has to offer.
From the treetops of Panama to the forests of Madagascar and even the river basins of Indiana, Phipps' Botany in Action fellows are conducting research wherever there are plants to study! These researchers are all doctoral students in plant sciences, and they are all recipients of Phipps Conservatory’s unique Botany in Action (BIA) fellowship—a fellowship that requires not only passion for science, but a heart for science outreach as well. As a part of this fellowship, the students all are brought to Phipps for four days of science communication training and public outreach opportunities. Check out their most recent visit below!
