UHD's Earth Month Spotlight: Plastic, Poetry, and the Power of the People
Get ready, Houston! The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) is diving deep—literally and figuratively—into the global plastic crisis with an Earth Month lecture that promises to provoke thought, stir hearts, and inspire action. On Wednesday, April 23 at 11:30 a.m., UHD welcomes Dr. Katharine Owens, a National Geographic Explorer, Fulbright Nehru fellow, and plastic-fighting professor, to headline this year’s President’s Lecture Series with a powerful presentation titled “Entangled and Ingested: How Ocean Trash Threatens Marine Life.”
