And here in\u00a0Scientific American<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Margaret muses on new ways of expanding science communication and the Crochet Coral Reef<\/em>\u00a0as a powerful tool for using art+craft to move beyond the fear-factor of climate change. With 2016 the third-in-a-row, hottest-year-on-record, the Crochet Reef’s<\/em> constructive, community-based approach to this topic is more salient than ever.<\/p>\n
