Environmental Defense Fund marine ecologist Dr. Rodney M. Fujita will moderate a panel of scientists, ocean explorers, futurists, and communicators who first gathered for an inquiry summit called BLUEMiND this summer at the California Academy of Sciences. The panel will explore cutting edge ideas of how gratitude and feelings of love for the ocean impact actual brain function and how people behave. Learn how the future of ocean health depends on our deep knowledge of how the brain works, and new ways to engage the public towards change through neuro-positive programs. Capacitor Dance Director Jodi Lomask will also perform a short clip from the upcoming Okeanos Dance series and talk about ocean themed dance.
