Watch as I venture through Wyoming, by way of Dallas, Salt Lake City, and Idaho, with the 2019 Emerging Leaders of SHiFT. We went hiking at Grand Teton National Park, spent time at Lake Taggart, Jackson Lake Dam and Reservoir, and we went White River Rafting. I take some time out to get gorgeous for my speech during the Breakfast Keynote on the Social Determinants of Health Panel at the SHiFT Conference. I'm sure you'll find something to laugh at in this nostalgic and nature-based video.

Drawn to Yellowstone
In association with Wyoming PBS, Raechel Donahue of Wild West Productions has produced, written and directed a documentary loosely based on the Peter Hassrick book Drawn to Yellowstone, the story of how the art of Thomas Moran and the photography of William H. Jackson were used to persuade Congress to make Yellowstone into the world's first national park. Beginning with the native Americans who frequented the area, through the early expeditions in the 1800s and eventually traveling up to the present day, scholars and artists tell the story of this amazing 2.5 million acre wilderness and the incredible pull it has always held for artists of every kind.

Take A Hike: Yellowstone's Changing Weather
Yellowstone National Park sits in the northwest corner of Wyoming just north of Grand Tetons National Park on the edge of the Rocky Mountains. As the seasons change the weather can also change in an instant. In 2013 Pam traveled to Yellowstone to photograph the various wildlife, but also found herself adjusting the the changing weather. Although she was there in late May and early June the weather changed from cold to warm and snow to clear and back. She talks about adjusting to photographing in the different elements and how those experiences helped her learn.

Painting the Falls of Yellowstone
The waterfalls of Yellowstone National Park have long captured the imagination of visitors and artists alike. Artists Thomas Moran and Albert Bierstadt first captured the magnificence and mystique of a few falls in the 1870s which helped establish the park. Over the last several decades, over 250 named and unnamed waterfalls and cascades have been discovered in accessible and backcountry areas of the Park. Their discovery prompted Cody-based and internationally renowned artist M.C. Mike Poulsen to try and capture these waterfalls on canvas. His work depicts not only the beauty of the falls but incorporates Native American history and spiritual themes, wildlife and the settlement history of the area. WyomingPBS followed Poulsen over two years providing insight into his vision and creative process.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
