Tom Hensley

Current Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) graduate ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Thomas Hensley of Bellbrook, Ohio, was published in the Dayton Daily News, a newspaper serving the City of Dayton, Ohio, and surrounding communities. In "" Hensley outlines the benefits of citizen science for both the public and scientists. It "can inspire and inform the public about making more climate-friendly decisions and actions," he writes. "At a time when the scientific field is constantly facing issues of misinformation, this trust could go a long way in debunking potentially harmful falsehoods." Hensley's experiential learning takes place at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

As a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø in Miami's biology department, Hensley is earning a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology through Project Dragonfly's AIP while working as a substitute teacher for Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local Schools.
