Creative Science Keynote
June 6, 20255:30–5:45 PMWSA, 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038
Keynotes feature invited speakers whose knowledge and experience add further context to the projects incubated at NEW INC. Speakers will offer introductory remarks as a way to frame Track Talks, and to align and expand on our members’ work.
To kick off our Creative Science Track Talks, marine biologist, policy expert, and writer Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson will join us for a clear-eyed conversation on the future of environmental advocacy. As the author of What If We Get It Right?—a New York Times bestseller and a Smithsonian Book of the Year—Johnson firmly believes that imagination and creativity are integral to our species’ ability to solve the biggest, most threatening challenges of our time. She inspires visions of a transformed and replenished world, which we each play a role in shaping.
