This page provides the recordings and resources related to our 2021 Spring Speaker Series, which was centered around the PBS docuseries H2O The Molecule That Made Us. Following a screening of each of the three part series was a facilitated conversation and open Q&A with an expert panel focused on main themes of each episode including big data, history & geography, and public health & global politics. In particular, the conversations covered how we can use the information presented to collectively advance opportunities in freshwater sustainability in an equitable and socially just manner.
