Putting emotion back into science

Megan Schulz

Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) graduate Megan Schulz '23 of Denver, Colorado, wrote for the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAEE). In her article, "An Educator's Guide to Fostering Empathy for Wildlife through Community Science," she asks: When did society decide that emotion has no place in science? Schulz makes a case for empathy in environmental education and offers six best practices for developing empathy in environmental education. Schulz is the Adult Programs Coordinator for Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado.

As a student in Miami's biology department, Schulz earned a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology through Project Dragonfly's AIP while working as Adult Programs Coordinator for Butterfly Pavilion.
