As @AfroHerper, Earyn McGee uses social media to build a more inclusive community by talking biodiversity, justice, climate change, and, above all, lizards. Lots of lizards.
This is the first of a five video profiles we’re launching as a part of the Grist 50 - our annual list of 50 people who are doing cool work in climate and the environment — artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and more. You can check out the full list here: grist.org/grist-50/2021
McGee's Twitter game #FindThatLizard, featuring pics of herps in hiding, is a smash. Offline she’s a STEM ambassador, introducing middle-school girls to careers in science and nature. Her Ph.D. research includes the impact of climate change on bug-eating lizards and analysis of the barriers discouraging Black women from careers in natural-resource management. As for her next move, post-Ph.D.? Perhaps a natural-history TV show.
