From 2019-2021 Hearts in the Ice has connected with over 100,000 youth globally through their interactive expert hosted calls on a variety of topics all related to Climate change. Their goal is to be the bridge between science and citizens through storytelling and sharing the knowledge from experts as they work to empower citizens to engage and corporations to take bold action.

Sunniva and Hilde will be on their Embrace the Planet tour along the west coast of Norway using an electric car while they connect communities and youth as they encourage all to become active citizen scientists. On this live video call  Sunniva and Hilde will join Tedx speaker and author Mary Ellen Hannibal.  Mary Ellen Hannibal is a long-time journalist focused on natural history and literature. Her most recent book, Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction, was named one of 2016’s best non-fiction books by the San Francisco Chronicle. She is a recipient of the National Association of Science Writer’s Science and Society Award, among other honors, and is currently a Stanford media fellow.
