CARL SAFINA! JOIN US FOR A CHAT WITH RENOWNED AUTHOR AND ECOLOGIST
Carl plans to share a couple of short readings with us, but mostly he hopes to share good conversation, rather than give a formal presentation. He will answer any and all questions about his work, including his books Becoming Wild, Song for the Blue Ocean, and Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel. He enjoys chatting about travels in the oceans, seabirds, fisheries management, work/life balance in a troubled world; as well as animal cognition, emotion, and culture.
Everyone is welcome to join the Monterey Bay Sea Otters Dive Club for this amazing evening.

About Carl Safina:
Carl Safina’s lyrical non-fiction writing about the human relationship with the living world has won a MacArthur “genius” prize; Pew, Guggenheim, and National Science Foundation fellowships; book awards from the National Academies, the Lannan Foundation, and Orion Magazine; and the John Burroughs, James Beard, and George Rabb medals. He grew up raising pigeons, training hawks and owls, and spending as many days and nights in the woods and on the water as he could. Safina’s studies of seabirds earned him a PhD in ecology from Rutgers University. He is the first Endowed Professor for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University, and founder of the not-for-profit Safina Center. His writing appears in the New York Times, Time, Audubon, National Geographic, on the Web at CNN.com, Yale e360, and elsewhere, and his PBS series Saving the Ocean can be viewed online. Two of his books have been New York Times Notable Books of the Year, including his 2020 book Becoming Wild; How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace. Carl lives on Long Island, New York, with his wife, Patricia, and their dogs and feathered friends. More at CarlSafina.org and SafinaCenter.org
