This year my young family decided we were ready for some new adventures here in the Chicagoland area. With strong recommendations from friends, we decided to visit the Museum of Science + Industry Chicago last month. Although my husband had enjoyed many school trips to the museum as a child, this was my first time venturing to the historic landmark. As we made our way past the coal mine elevator and space travel exhibits, we saw signs for The Blue Paradox exhibit. “What will this be about?” I wondered to myself.
Art Speaks Louder Than Scientific Words
In early September, I had the opportunity to speak with climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, advisor and kick-off speaker for Third Coast Disrupted: Artists + Scientists on Climate, an exhibition of newly commissioned artworks exploring climate change impacts and solutions in the Chicago area.
