How can the art of drag increase climate change awareness? Science is a Drag is the world’s first and longest running fully science-themed drag show. The team elevates science communication through the powerful art of drag. Science is a Drag is by and for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, empowering scientists and communicators to bring queer and intersectional science communication.

David Aceituno-Caicedo is an Environmental Scientist and Ambassador of Science is a Drag. He is currently a PhD Candidate in Biogeochemistry at the University of Toronto. Through his research, David studies how a changing ocean salinity can impact photosynthetic bacteria and influence how they interact with chemicals on a microscopic level. He also has a Professional Masters in Environmental Science from the University of Toronto Scarborough, where David studied contaminated site remediation and environmental consulting topics. 

David joins Earth Day Party hosts, Shannon Burns and Sarah Christie and shares the similarities in the fight for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the fight for climate solutions. David also details how the joy of drag can empower us with knowledge on a subject that is typically overwhelming, the climate emergency.

The group does a “no silly questions” segment where they ask questions people have always wanted to ask an Environmental scientist! Are new species being discovered? How many years do we have before irreversible damage? Plus, David offers hope when he explains how far green technology and solutions have come.
