PI-CASC had the opportunity in 2018 to participate in two award-winning episodes of the highly acclaimed half-hour television show Voice of the Sea. In this age when it has become so important to communicate science accurately and broadly and to illustrate the possibilities of science for the betterment of all, it is argued that television is the platform of choice for reaching underrepresented communities. Eos, the science news publication from the American Geophysical Union, just published a piece by the host of Voice of the Sea, Kanesa Duncan Seraphin, about the success of using a television show to promote science.
