Our guest this week is Meg Haywood Sullivan. Meg is a photographer, science communicator and the creator of MegaMindful, a public media show that introduces kids to newly discovered species. She grew up in New England, where her mother painted salt marshes and her father photographed them. As a teenage lifeguard, she stayed after her shifts to pick up trash and made sculptures from the lobster rope she found. She spent fifteen years as an outdoor photographer, shooting the freeride ski circuit and starting Protect Our Winters’ Instagram account in 2012. When COVID hit alongside intense burnout, she went to grad school to study why conservation is underfunded and how climate anxiety affects kids, and that research became MegaMindful.
