Molly Herring is a Communications specialist at the Tijuana Estuary Foundation.
She is a science communicator and journalist passionate about writing, photography, and videography that connect people with the natural world around them. Her reporting spans topics from wildlife trafficking to climate resilience and space science, with bylines in Science Magazine, Scientific American, Quanta, Mongabay, Eos, and other publications. As a fellow with the Rachel Carson Council and the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience, she produced multimedia stories on ocean health, climate adaptation, and environmental justice. As a science writer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, she helped translate fundamental biomedical research to the science-curious public. When she’s not writing, she can be found face-down in a tidepool.
She holds a Master of Science in Science Communication from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Honors B.A.s in Biology and Global Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but learned the most while living and working in Ecuador, Greece, Ghana, Guatemala, and Thailand.
Molly came to the Tijuana River Estuary from the East Coast to help share the stories of this incredible nexus of nations, ecosystems, and species.
