Bridging the Gap. An article by current AIP student Julianne Rose shows how a Memphis nonprofit connects urban youth with the outdoors. From encouraging questions to participating in activities, Memphis Kids in Nature "has been working in Shelby County for more than a decade with the mission of connecting kids to the great outdoors in meaningful, lasting, and life-changing ways". Well done, Julianne, on continuing to inspire inquiry in your community. Link in our bio.

This Thursday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m. ET, via livestream we invite you to join our campus partner, Miami University's Hefner Museum of Natural History, for the 52nd annual Hefner Lecture featuring Michael J. Parr, President of the American Bird Conservancy, who will be presenting on “Latin American Bird: Connecting Your Home to the Tropics." Many of Ohio’s most cherished summer birds — from warblers to thrushes to hummingbirds — are birds we share with Latin America. Helping migratory bird populations flourish depends on conservation efforts across their flyway, from Canada to South America and points in between.

This all-ages public lecture will be streamed live on the Hefner Museum’s YouTube channel as well as presented in person in Miami's Laws Hall, room 100. We hope you will join us! Link in our bio
