What a rich and fertile mix of 2012 Grant Partners (GPs) -- scientists, educators, filmmakers, documentarians, journalists, photographers, social activists, artists, and locavores.  Now six years into my vision for creating Invoking The Pause, I continue to be inspired by the variety of creative, collaborative projects GPs birth.
