ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Ariana Sutton-Grier recently published an entertaining blog post in the Science Communication (“SciComm”) section of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) website. The post, titled “Ariana Sutton-Grier’s Confessions of a Not-Quite-Broadway Scientist,” delves into how the researcher uses performance to communicate her scientific work and the importance of storytelling in a scientific setting. Sutton-Grier’s post was part of ESA’s “#MySciComm” series, which explores the personal and professional journeys of science communicators.

Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
