ARLINGTON, Va. - Virginir -- Marine biologist, musician, and conservationist Dr. Heather Spence is making waves—literally and figuratively. Her TEDxGeorgeMasonU talk "Listen Like a Fish" has just been selected as an Editor's Pick by TEDx, a rare and prestigious honor awarded to only a handful of talks out of thousands published each year.
The announcement comes during Ocean Month, making the recognition even more timely. Spence's talk invites viewers to reconsider how they interact with the world around them—not by seeing more, but by listening more deeply.
"When I suggested soundscape tourism, that really seemed to resonate with people. Don't just take photos—record sounds and make sonic memories! You might even choose to go somewhere because of the way it sounds," said Spence, whose work combines cutting-edge acoustic research with mindful environmental engagement.

Spence has spent over two decades studying underwater soundscapes—from crackling shrimp to grunting fish—offering a rare look at ocean life through a sonic lens. Her research on the MesoAmerican Reef has already influenced how scientists and policymakers understand marine ecosystems.
To celebrate the honor, Spence is hosting a virtual watch party on Saturday, June 21 at 5 PM ET, where attendees will view the talk together, chat live, and discuss the future of sensory-based conservation. RSVP by emailing info@heatherspence.net or visiting the Facebook event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/4079525242331199/
Her TEDx talk will be released and promoted globally on Friday, June 20, across TED's social media channels and YouTube, ensuring it reaches millions.
