This semester, a dedicated team of students and faculty at Bucknell University embarked on a unique interdisciplinary project that blended data science, creative writing, and ecological storytelling. Their mission was simple yet ambitious: to create interactive tools that would help writers draw inspiration from real-world ecological data. Guided by Professor Sara Stoudt, who provided technical frameworks and mentorship, and Professor Elinam Agbo, who brought a writer’s sensibility to the work, the project bridged multiple disciplines and approaches. The student team was led by Caitlyn Hickey, a junior majoring in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Physics, and Shaheryar Asghar, a […]
