SCVAS Speaker Series: Rosemary Mosco

Rosemary Mosco

Bird & Moon

Wednesday, July 21, 7:00 PM Pacific Time (via zoom)

Birds can be funny - and that humor can help conserve them! Cartoons, humor, and art are unexpectedly important tools in the fight against biodiversity loss, climate change, and other threats to birds. Cartoonist and science author Rosemary Mosco, creator of Bird and Moon comics, will explain why science needs humor and art, talk about the path that led her to her work, and share examples of her comics.

Rosemary makes books and cartoons that connect people with the natural world. Her Bird and Moon nature comics were the subject of an award-winning museum exhibit and are collected in a book that’s a 2019 ALA Great Graphic Novel for Teens. She co-wrote The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid, a NYT Best Seller. She speaks at birding festivals and writes for Audubon and the PBS kids’ show Elinor Wonders Why. Her next book is called A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching. Her favorite glacial landform is the esker.

The recording of this presentation will only be distributed to registered participants.
