April | Launching the Dialogue Series!
The Puget Sound Ecosystem Monitoring Program (PSEMP) in partnership with Oregon State University, is excited to announce the launch the PSEMP Human Wellbeing Dialogue Series.
The Dialogue Series is centered to identify where human wellbeing topics intersect and connect with ecosystem monitoring. This is an opportunity to learn, engage in discussion, and brainstorm opportunities. This is a Series of five talks and discussions, each organized into a single topic with a panel of invited experts within that topic. Panelists may be researchers, practitioners, or hold expertise through lived experience. They will share and discuss examples of how human wellbeing topics in their area of expertise fit within PSEMP work areas.
The first two events of the Series are now open for registration and additional details are noted below. Please note that registration is free and required to attend each session. Registration also includes the opportunity for you to submit questions to the Panelists.
