Marijke Hecht is a doctoral candidate in Learning Sciences and Policy at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research is focused on how people learn about nature outside of the classroom. I shared her paper, \u201cBecoming a Naturalist,\u201d this past summer (see Episode 21).\n\nWhat has Marijke learned about how a naturalist identity develops?\n\nHow can guest educators contribute to an outdoor program?\n\nWhat drives learning ecosystems in the informal sector?
