What can the seasonal rhythms of plants and animals tell us about the health of our world—and our own well-being? Theresa Crimmins, director of the USA National Phenology Network and Associate Professor at the University of Arizona, will explore these questions, as outlined in her new book Phenology (MIT Press, 2025). With warmth and scientific clarity, Crimmins introduces the audience to the study of life cycle timing in nature, from leaf-out to migration, and shows how paying attention to these patterns deepens our connection to place while informing climate science. She invites us to become everyday phenologists and take part in a joyful, urgent practice that supports both mental health and environmental stewardship.
