Atlanta Science Festival expands your horizons

Rae Wynn-Grant admires a bear cub after tagging it. "I hope that I can play a small role in helping people see that science is a space where anyone can find belonging," she says.

"Science has quite literally taken me around the world," says Rae Wynn-Grant, an Emory alumna and wildlife biologist whose field research has spanned six continents.

"But you don't have to physically travel to be a great scientist," she adds. "I want people to know that there are many different ways that science can expand your horizons." 

Wynn-Grant returns to Atlanta as a featured speaker to launch this year's Atlanta Science Festival, set for March 10-25. The festival is bigger and more expansive than ever with more than 150 events and an overarching theme: Where will science take you?
