Lisa Schonberg on using acoustic ecology to study ants in the Amazon and endemic bees in Hawai'i, making science accessible through musical composition
Lisa's ATTA fieldwork (Amplifying the Tropical Ants), a project in collaboration with Brazilian entomologists investigating ant bioacoustics in the Amazon, the ecological and cultural relevance of “sons escondidos” (hidden sounds) and how they can impact our perception of non-human species and our decision-making processes
the importance of acoustic ecology and combining music composition and ecological field research
how Lisa performs her place-based compositions with her ensembles Secret Drum Band and UAU.
The Hylaeus project and Lisa's study of endangered bees that are endemic to Hawai'i
Developments in citizen science in Hawai'i for the Hylaeus bees
How research on the bees in Hawai'i can help to raise awareness about behavioral changes people can make to protect the bees' habitat
The current administration's push to weaken the Endangered Species Act and how this is extremely problematic
How cross-discipline collaborative research can make questions and findings more accessible
Making art from scientific data to make it more fun for folks to learn about
The pattern ecology project and the exploration of making art about science and through the scientific process
