River Collective | Water, Citizen Science and Knowledge Sharing
Today, you’ll get to meet Dalal and Ilias, both of whom are National Geographic Explorers and organization co-founders. Dalal is a freshwater ecologist and science communicator who co-founded Riparia. Riparia is a Canadian non-profit that works to create better connections between youth, science and water by bringing youth on free, multi-day, freshwater science expeditions.
Ilias is a space pioneer, educator and NatGeo young explorer. He has been focusing on space technologies since 2012. SPIN – Space Innovation is a non-profit focusing on the development and knowledge sharing of space technologies to be more accessible to young people.
Dalal will tell us about her work connecting young women and science on the water, while Ilias Psyroukis is going to tell us about his work connecting young adults and how knowledge from space can be used to better understand and protect rivers.
