🚢 Save the Date ⏰
Some of our amazing crew will be leading a discussion on October 10th at 4pm for the Payne Hollow Symposium October 9-11th.

“At this 2026 Symposium, we hope that scholars, students, scientists, creatives, and community members will consider what it means to them to “drift forward” in such a way. How can we, like the Hubbards, learn from the stream of time and carry the ideas of creativity, curiosity, and stewardship into a bright and bountiful future?” (Exert from the official Payne Hollow on the Ohio website.)
