In 2018, I had the opportunity to attend a Pew Charitable Trust meeting as an invited speaker on science communication.

The idea of noise pollution in the ocean was poetic, compelling, and intriguing. So I wrote this.

It was later turned into a TED talk.
UPDATE: this piece won an Acoustical Society of America communication award for 2019/2020
