TED Talk Lunch Series: "The surprising power of your nature photos"

Pack a lunch, invite a friend, and join the discussion! This month we'll view and discuss Scott Loarie's 2025 talk, "The surprising power of your nature photos."

Go outside and take a picture. That's Loarie's challenge to us all. The Executive Director of iNaturalist, Loarie connects everyday people with scientific research.  In this talk he introduces the global community of people who are working to build a living atlas of the natural world by sharing their nature photos with scientists - and explains how we can join the fun.
