Event Description:
Join us for an engaging look at how the Thompson Earth Systems Institute (TESI) is connecting Floridians to the earth systems that shape our state and our future. Through public programs like Science on Tap and the Swamp for the Springs campaign, TESI brings cutting-edge research from the University of Florida into community spaces, fostering dialogue around water, land, ecosystems, and environmental change. You’ll also learn how TESI extends its reach through digital engagement, including newsletters and social media, to connect audiences across Florida, and how UF students are prepared to become environmental leaders through hands-on programs like the Environmental Leaders Fellowship, where students partner with communities to address real-world challenges. Discover how TESI serves Florida by translating science into meaningful action across the state.
