Marley shares her inspiring journey of curating and developing a children's art gallery in partnership with the Southwest Art Gallery and Science Center. At just 16 years old, Marley embarked on this project to provide art-related opportunities for kids in her community in North Dakota, where such resources were scarce. She discusses her passion for art as a self-taught artist, the need she identified in her community, and how her collaboration with the Southwest Art Gallery, which shares her mission, facilitated the creation of this new space. Marley reflects on her experience as a volunteer and the process of curating the first exhibit, highlighting the importance of fostering creativity among youth. Tune in to learn how one young artist is making a difference in her community through art! About Our Guest: My name is Marly Barnett, I am a 17-year-old Girl Scout from Troop 85112 and I live in the SW region of North Dakota. My Gold Award project, titled “SW Art Gallery and Science Center's Children's Gallery”, was to develop a children's art gallery for grades K-12 within the physical building of the SW Art Gallery and Science Center. I started this project at age 16 in April 2024, and as a result, I have advanced from a volunteer position to a paid role as Student Director of the SW Art Gallery and Science Center's Children's Gallery in October. Most recently I added Social Media Coordinator to my responsibilities. The reason I chose this as my Gold Award project was for two reasons, one to play a more active role in my community and two, as a self-taught artist, to make the arts more accessible for young artists in Region 8 of North Dakota.

Learn more: https://www.jobcase.com/articles/wv-dcr   #3 – From GAZETTE-MAIL – After spending its first 22 years working to restore and protect the Coal River system, the Coal River Group is now setting its sights on promoting tourism in the five-county corridor through which the 88-mile Coal River system passes. “We're transitioning from being primarily a fix-it group to a tourism development organization,” said Coal River Group co-founder and board chairman Bill Currey of St. Albans. “The river's changed dramatically for the better in the past 22 years. It's been exciting to see all the positive things that have happened to it. Now, it's time to take on a new challenge.” The group has led the effort to build 20 public stream access sites along the river system and mapped out a water trail connecting them. They also placed historic markers and signage at the former locks site used by barges and steamboats to haul coal prior to the Civil War. Today, more than 15,000 paddlers, most of them kayakers, ply the waters of the Coal River system every year.

The DaVinci Science Center is a national award-winning nonprofit organization that has brought science to life to science since 1992. It was established by a faculty member at Lehigh University. It was initially formed in a former Bethlehem steel plant building with hands-on experience. Now the location is downtown Allentown. For visitors, it showcases the relationship between art and science. “A lot of our scientists have pretty extensive art pursuits, whether it's in their free time or, as you know, a second position or a former job. And I think that's because there's a kind of natural intersection between the two disciplines. The biggest thing for me is whenever you're trying to solve a science problem, you have to be able to think creative, “said Lin Erickson, CEO of the DaVinci Science Center. The Science Center offers hands on experiences for everyone of all ages. It also offers an opportunity for students to get out of their classrooms to experience hands-on exhibits like curiosity hall. It was inspired by Leonardo DaVinci. “You know, Walter Isaacson's book talks about Leonardo and his genius and says that that's why he was such a genius more than the other people whose written about Einstein jobs and so forth. He was such a genius and curious. He never finished anything. So, a lot of his artwork, you might know he never finished, but that sets him apart. But in Curiosity Hall, there's three programs, and you're introduced to Leonardo, the artist, Leonardo the scientist and Leonardo the inventor. So, you're at a kiosk and you're looking up at a huge screen. And so, like Leonardo the artist, you have the opportunity to create your own portrait, “said Erickson. Carol Luthar is the Sr. Manager of STEAM Education at the science center. She hopes that visitors walk away with a new appreciation of science. “So, I personally really and I think our whole our whole team really believes that science is for everyone. Science is a great way to help people and help the community. When you think about recent things that we as a society have had to deal with. So, for example, the Covid 19 pandemic science really helped us through that. And it's not a process that's done, you know, individually without creativity, without innovation, without community input. It really requires being kind of like a well-rounded individual. And I think what I hope people get when they come to the science Center is they learn that science is interactive, it's community based, and it's something that is really important. And it's not just having to sit at their desk, read a book about electricity, You know, that's not what while that can be interesting, it's not how real scientists work. So I'm hoping that students get a little broaden their idea of what science is and how it can help us, “said Luthar.  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 81, Micah and I have the privilege of interviewing the Flight Team interns from the California Science Center. But first, Listener Paul writes in to let us know he wasn't happy with our production quality / sound levels. Through a bunch of emails, thinks get pretty hysterical. Then I talk with Micah about not having any regrets... but he still won't upgrade his ancient PC to a Mac... at least not until Microsoft stops support for Windows 10. Listener Lu wants to know if we have ever witnessed any physical violence on a airplane. This question stems from the incident where a United Airlines flight attendant has part of his shirt bitten off by a human passenger. We then play the recorded interviews we conducted with the Summer Flight Team Interns from the California Science Center. And I can not stress enough how great these kids are and how lucky we were to be able to interview them. They are very special people and it was great to be able to help inspire them during the 8 week program. We hope you enjoy the interviews! The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

Folks often say that dogs are a human's best friend. The Science Center doesn't have any dogs on display (well at least not since our temporary Dogs! exhibit closed), but we sure do have lots of other terrestrial animals to take care of. And our keepers--the folks who do that work--really care about our animals. Do you ever wonder how keepers develop a relationship with the animals they take care of?Josh Hestermann leads the team who takes care of everything that lives on land at the Science Center. He shares what it's like to gain the trust of a military macaw and what goes into taking care of all the terrestrial animals you might see when you visit.Have a question you've been wondering about?

Today, the Safari heads back to Greensboro and our favorite Science Center to chat with Lily Reavis, who heads up the Life Support Systems (LSS) at the zoo and aquarium. LSS is very different than anything we've talked about on the podcast before, and it is absolutely essential to keeping any of the animals that have habitats with water healthy. EPISODE LINKS: greensboroscience.org @greensborosciencecenter ROSSIFARI LINKS: @rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod Rossifari.com

És ha nevetségesnek tartja a kérdéseimet?”En: "But what should I ask? What if he thinks my questions are ridiculous?"Hu: Az önbizalma megingott.En: Her confidence wavered.Hu: Talán jobb lenne, ha egyedül fedezné fel a kiállítást.En: Perhaps it would be better if she explored the exhibit on her own.Hu: Mégis, valami hajtotta belülről.En: Yet, something drove her from within.Hu: A terem felé indult.En: She headed toward the room.Hu: Az előadás már tartott.En: The lecture was already in session.Hu: „Ne félj, Katalin,” suttogta magának.En: "Don't be afraid, Katalin," she whispered to herself.Hu: Dr. Balázs épp az új géntechnológiai kutatásokról beszélt.En: Dr. Balázs was talking about new genetic technology research.Hu: Katalin figyelte minden szavát.En: Katalin listened to every word.Hu: Az előadás végén összeszedte magát és a tudós elé lépett.En: At the end of the lecture, she gathered her courage and stepped up to the scientist.Hu: „Elnézést, Dr. Balázs. Kérdezhetek valamit?” kérdezte csendesen.En: "Excuse me, Dr. Balázs. May I ask you something?" she asked quietly.Hu: A tudós barátságosan nézett rá.En: The scientist looked at her kindly.Hu: „Természetesen, fiatal hölgy. Mi érdekel?”En: "Of course, young lady. What interests you?"Hu: Katalin mély levegőt vett.En: Katalin took a deep breath.Hu: „Hogyan lehet egy fiatal nő tudós? Mit tanácsol, hogy ne adjam fel, ha úgy érzem, hogy mások nem hisznek bennem?”En: "How can a young woman become a scientist? What advice would you give to not give up when I feel that others don't believe in me?"Hu: Dr. Balázs mosolygott.En: Dr. Balázs smiled.Hu: „Az első lépés, hogy hiszel magadban.En: "The first step is to believe in yourself.Hu: A tudományban nincs helye előítéleteknek.En: There is no room for prejudice in science.Hu: Szükségünk van tehetséges emberekre, mint te.En: We need talented individuals like you.Hu: Soha ne hagyd, hogy mások véleménye visszatartson.En: Never let others' opinions hold you back.Hu: Dolgozz keményen, legyél kitartó, és ne félj kérdezni és tanulni.”En: Work hard, be persistent, and don't be afraid to ask questions and learn."Hu: Katalin hálásan bólogatott.En: Katalin nodded gratefully.Hu: Érezte, hogy visszatér az önbizalma.En: She felt her confidence returning.Hu: „Köszönöm szépen, Dr. Balázs.”En: "Thank you very much, Dr. Balázs."Hu: A kiállítás végén Katalin kisétált a Tudományos Központból.En: At the end of the exhibition, Katalin walked out of the Science Center.Hu: A napfény még mindig ragyogott.En: The sunlight was still shining.Hu: De valami megváltozott benne.En: But something had changed within her.Hu: Új célt és magabiztosságot talált.En: She had found a new purpose and self-confidence.Hu: Tudta, hogy kemény munka és kitartás kell ahhoz, hogy elérje álmait.En: She knew it would take hard work and perseverance to achieve her dreams.Hu: „Megcsinálom,” mondta magának halkan, miközben ránézett Budapest nyüzsgő utcáira.En: "I'll do it," she said softly to herself, looking at the bustling streets of Budapest.Hu: „Leszek tudós, és megmutatom mindenkinek, hogy képes vagyok rá.”En: "I'll become a scientist, and I'll show everyone that I can do it."Hu: Az újonnan talált önbizalommal a szívében, Katalin elindult haza, érezve a nyár melegségét és az elkövetkező lehetőségek izgalmát.En: With newfound confidence in her heart, Katalin headed home, feeling the warmth of summer and the excitement of upcoming opportunities.

The Steelers brought home their report card, and let's just say their grades would probably get you grounded. The total solar eclipse is just a month away, and we're sharing tips on how to get the best view of this astronomical phenomenon. Plus, an update on the Monroeville Convention Center and how Pittsburgh's police staffing changes could affect you. We always cite our sources: A hotel closed in response to Monroeville's convention center shutting down, but local and state officials have met to discuss the possibility of saving the convention center. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is making some changes to scheduling and their responses. The new Telephone Reporting Unit means police will respond to an estimated 50,000 calls a year instead of 200,000. This year's Steelers Report Card came out, and we ranked 28th out of 32 teams.  Newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco has all the details for everyone viewing the solar eclipse in Pittsburgh. Erie is in the eclipse's path of totality, and visitors have paid big bucks for a hotel room. Find eclipse events in Erie or check out the Science Center's Eclipse Extravaganza here in Pittsburgh.
