Emily Calandrelli, an MIT engineer turned Emmy-nominated science television host, will serve as the keynote speaker for the Convocation 2020-2021 series at the State University at Fredonia.
Her address, “Empathetic Science Communication in an Increasingly Polarized World,” will be presented over Zoom on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 3 p.m.
The Convocation Committee’s selection of Calandrelli was made in the spirit of Mae Jemison, an engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut who became the first Black woman to complete a mission in outer space in 1992.
“It’s really important that we recognize we are connected – that this world will not go anywhere, that we will not have a future if we don’t recognize our connections with other peoples, if we don’t recognize our connection with this Earth and our universe,” Ms. Jemison observed.
