Jennifer Bissonnette, interim director of the Nature Lab at Rhode Island School of Design, will present “Regenerative Minds – What combining science, art, design and an eco-centric approach can offer the world” at 4 p.m. on April 30 via Zoom.
Bissonnette is an ecologist and marine scientist who works in the fields of sustainability, regenerative and biophilic design, recognizing the potentially transformative work that can result from merging science and nature with art and design methods of inquiry and exploration.
Her work has focused broadly on human-nature connections, believing that a conservation ethic is best inspired by deep engagement with the natural world.
Bissonnette’s experience includes working on Capitol Hill as a natural resources legislative assistant, coastal resource management work for the state of Virginia, and teaching college level courses on a variety of topics including aquaponics, biomaterials, regenerative design, biology, ecology and marine science.
