Carolyn Hall

Carolyn Hall (she/her) is a Brooklyn, NY based historical marine ecologist, science communications trainer, and award-winning professional contemporary dancer. She holds a MS in marine science from Stony Brook University where she researched the historical impact of dams on access to alewife spawning habitat. After working so much in the public, she became involved in science communication out of the desire to make her and others’ data-rich research more relatable and memorable. Currently, her focus is on personal, interactive art-meets-science projects designed to encourage reconnection between people and their environments. She can often be found along shorelines hatching plans for creative public engagements around fish, water, and climate change. She co-directs science communication programs for the American Fisheries Society, is a co-founder of Exact Communication, is a Creative Programs Coordinator for Genspace, creates the speculative future climate change walking tour ‘Sunk Shore’ with Clarinda Mac Low, and is a core team member of the eco-art collective Works on Water.
