H Fisk Johnson, Ph.D.

Enjoyed productive conversations this week with several elected officials, including ideas to address the #plasticwastecrisis.

Had an amazing time recently kayaking the Deschutes River – I even sported this future kayaking fashion.

You may have heard about microplastics being discovered just about everywhere, but did you know they’ve been found in the blood of humans? Taking actions to stop the #plasticwastecrisis may very well impact the health of future generations.

Ran into Albert Einstein in DC and couldn’t resist a quick photo with him. (Look closely)

Plastic waste is destroying ecosystems & threatening the health of the planet. Greater attention to this issue & taking action is needed before it’s too late. I’ll be sharing some observations & steps that can be taken to help solve it. Follow #plasticwastecrisis to learn more.

Grateful for the education and experience UW has given so many talented SCJ people. On, Wisconsin!

Thoroughly enjoyed hosting @uwchancellor Mnookin at our SCJ headquarters last week and glad she got the opportunity to meet with so many @UWMadison alums! Both @SCJohnson and UW-Madison have been a rich part of our state’s history for well over a century.

Thanks, @uwchancellor, enjoyed having you for the visit! Glad you enjoyed meeting some of our many @UWMadison grads. On, Wisconsin!

My grandfather shared many stories of his time working w/ Frank Lloyd Wright on our iconic headquarters. A recent visit to the @Guggenheim reminded me of how inspiring FLW’s work is and how fortunate @SCJohnson is to call one of his buildings home.

Congrats Carey Family – Racine County’s newest homeowners! Grateful for the opportunity to partner with Racine Habitat for Humanity to sponsor a new 🏠. Thanks to the many talented & hardworking @gatewaytech construction students that volunteered their time on the build.

Thanks to the @journalsentinel for visiting #TheBlueParadox exhibit at @msichicago & for sitting down with me to discuss the complex #plasticwastecrisis. Generating awareness & action are key to quickly tackling this pressing issue. @SCJohnson jsonline.com/story/money/bu…

Tackling plastic waste may feel as daunting as the “mountains and clouds” sculpture by Calder in the Hart Senate building ­– but every step leads to meaningful action & @SCJohnson is committed to doing our part. #plasticwastecrisis.

Thank you @SenWhitehouse for your leadership & a great conversation on the need for greater plastics regulation.

Here we are by the sculpture “The Drop” that represents a raindrop. Just like a single drop in the ocean can create a ripple effect, if we all work together to take action, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution. #plasticwaste #sustainability

British Columbia is a leader in efforts to address plastic waste. Had a great conversation with George Heyman, Minister of the Environment, and I look forward to future opportunities to partner for progress.

@ConservationOrg @msichicago 2/2 The exhibit opened at @msichicago on July 1, and you can find more information here: scjohnson.com/en/a-more-sust…

After taking London by storm, we are truly excited to partner w/ @ConservationOrg & @msichicago on #TheBlueParadox, to raise awareness & inspire a movement of collective efforts – from gov't, biz, & people – to stop ocean plastic pollution. 1/2

@msichicago @ConservationOrg If we all work together, we can turn the tide on plastics pollution.

@msichicago @ConservationOrg This experience will continue to raise awareness of this critical issue and will inspire collective action by individuals, business and government. For over 135 years we’ve been at work for a better world and I’m excited that this will continue our mission.

I’m excited that today #TheBlueParadox, our new immersive experience on the plastic waste crisis, opened to the public at the @msichicago and in partnership with @ConservationOrg.
