About this episode
Lauren Hines-Acosta discusses the wonders of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and her work as a science journalist.
The Chesapeake Bay watershed is a national treasure with many small and expansive wonders.

Lauren took a keen interest in science at a young age and was particularly intrigued by physics and astronomy. As a science writer covering Virginia's portion of the Bay watershed, Lauren is able to share through her writing about the small and expansive wonders she discovers in her research.
