I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be attending the IAAPA Expo this year and am honored to have been conferred with the IAAPA Certified Attractions Professional (ICAP) designation! The ICAP designation is recognized as the gold standard in validating expertise, knowledge, and skills within the attractions industry. I’m proud to have achieved this milestone. This certification underscores my commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences and driving excellence across the industry. A heartfelt thank you to the Adler Planetarium and Ryu Mizuno for their unwavering support of my career and professional growth. Your belief in me has been instrumental in achieving this accomplishment, and I’m deeply grateful to be part of a team and organization that values development and innovation. Looking forward to connecting with fellow professionals and Alissa DeMeglio at the conference to exchange ideas, insights, and inspiration. If you’ll be at IAAPA, let’s meet up and chat! #IAAPAExpo #ICAP #GuestExperience #AttractionsIndustry #ProfessionalGrowth #Gratitude

A few weeks ago, the Shedd Aquarium Academy Interns visited the Adler Planetarium to explore Photovoice through the Little Village Night Sky exhibit. This approach uses photography and personal stories to help youth share their views on community environmental issues and brainstorm solutions. Shedd’s interns plan to incorporate Photovoice into their conservation project. I’m always happy to share my experience facilitating this project in Chicago’s Little Village. It’s truly inspiring to see how the Youth Organization for Lights Out's Photovoice initiative is encouraging other youth groups to bring Photovoice into their own science and community-driven projects. #YouthEmpowerment #ScienceEngagement #CommunityImpact #Photovoice

???? Would you have been fooled?? In 1938—exactly 86 years ago today—a dramatization of H.G. Wells's novel, The War of the Worlds, was broadcast live on CBS radio network. ??? Even though this was clearly a work of fiction, some listeners truly believed the world was under attack. ?? 1,349 handwritten letters were sent to Orson Welles reacting to this broadcast! Recently over a thousand Adler Zooniverse volunteers transcribed these letters that are now preserved and readable through the University of Michigan Library. ?? Read the "War of the Worlds Fan Mail" here: https://lnkd.in/g76vHaNF ?? Letter 1: "Handwritten letter from Lydia hark." In the digital collection War of the Worlds Fan Mail. https://lnkd.in/gsEFBFXG.

Last Thursday, the Youth Organization for Lights Out teens welcomed Megan Eaves, the Editor at DarkSky and a travel and science journalist. The teens had a great time talking with Megan, learning about her work, and sharing their own experiences as Light Justice Advocates. Thank you for spending time with us, Megan; it was great to meet you in person! #LightPollution #DarkSkies #Sustainability #SmartCities #Chicago
