Vicki Medland examines how our inability to see, feel and practically measure Vicki Medland grew up in urban Milwaukee, but much of her childhood memories are from time spent wandering her grandparents’ lakefront and forest properties where she learned to identify wildflowers and insects. Her love of nature led her to pursue degrees in zoology and ecology studying human impacts on the ecology of wetlands. She spent 20 years as an instructor and as the Associate Director of the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity at UW—Green Bay where she taught courses in biology and environmental science, directed student internships and led outreach efforts to help people understand, appreciate, and value biodiversity and the natural world around them. She continues her biodiversity journey as a writer, illustrator, university instructor, and adjunct curator in the Richter Natural History Museum. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
