We were so happy to partner with Alachua County Library District for the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read, a series of events building community while lifting the voices of women in science! It seemed a perfect fit to bring on one of our favorite partners, Taylor Williams with Guts & Glory GNV, to host a Fieldwork Fails night of storytelling to show that science is never perfect. It can be unpredictable, hilarious and fun!

NEA Big Read: Fieldwork Fails

For those who were unable to join us live, we saved the full event video. This event was recorded live on Zoom on Sept. 24, 2020.

Speakers

We also have edited highlights of just the individual storytellers into shorts, so you can sample the fun before jumping into the full event video!
