Occupation	Science Communicator
Location	Wellington, New Zealand
Introduction	My name’s Loo Connor. I’m a science communicator by profession. I’ve spent almost 20 years working with all kinds of scientists and experts to translate complex ideas in ways we can all understand and make use of. I’m passionate about using creativity to bring people and ideas to life. I’ve developed and facilitated storytelling workshops for scientists and I've used dance, illustration, performance, poetry and other creative forms to connect people emotionally and imaginatively with the ideas in science. I was brought up in a family of idealists and philosophers and am fascinated by how ideas shape the world we live in. I'm currently interested in understanding the economic, political and social ideas that have led to the environmental crisis and exploring both new and ancient ideas that could help us reconnect and shape the world into something more beautiful.
