Avery won “Best Podcast” in Planet Forward’s StoryFest competition. This podcast was first developed by Avery as a URG project to explore sea level rise in the Florida Keys.
Here’s what Avery had to say about her project: “A chain of low-lying islands, the Florida Keys are already being affected by sea level rise. I had the opportunity to investigate the effects of rising waters on the Keys’ environment, economy and residents thanks to a grant from Northwestern’s Office of Undergraduate Research. Podcasts enable journalists to tell stories with the immediacy of real voices and engaging audio scenery. Having this opportunity to delve into the impactful and relevant topic of sea level rise by creating my own podcasts was incredible.”
