We are excited to have a group of runners coming from The Ocracoke School to participate in the Love A Sea Turtle Trail Run on Saturday. They are hosting their 1st 5k run on April 28th and here’s the link for more information – Ocracoke Island 5k Run. We hope you’ll support them, too!

I'm with Dr. Steve Roberts, University Partnerships Specialist - ORAU

I was recently invited to share my sea turtle work and STEM-focused (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) summer camp information at the Oak Ridge Associated Universities Conference in Oak Ridge, TN. Also participating in the event were Evelyn Brown and Cindy Putnam Evans, representing ECU’s Center for Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education.

I volunteered at a “Walk For Water” event on World Water Day. Participants walked 4 miles carrying 6 litres of water in a backpack. This was to create awareness of what so many people around the world do on a daily basis just to get water.

I made a presentation to a book club and this was the dessert served. Turtle cookies surfing on ice cream!
