13 - Kenny Tapp, Online Professor
August 16, 2021 11:00 - 34 minutes - 32.2 MBTen years ago, 77% of college students in the U.S. took at least some classes online. But among students that took online classes, only 39% said they offer the same educational value as in-person classes, according to Pew Research. Over the past year, those attitudes have changed. 60% of students and faculty in the U.S. are more optimistic about online learning. And 3 out of 4 students would consider fully-online courses in the future, according to a large survey reported by Inside Higher Ed...
12 - Katharine Hayhoe, TNC Chief Scientist
June 01, 2021 11:00 - 49 minutes - 45.9 MBDr. Katharine Hayhoe is a towering figure in the world of climate science. Her work changed our ability to develop climate change solutions and expanded the public’s understanding of the effects of climate change. She recently accepted an offer to be the next Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy. And today, June 1, is actually her first day on the new job. We met with her a few weeks ago, virtually, to talk about her plans with TNC, about how researchers can better communicate climat...
11 - Julian Reyes, AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow
February 22, 2021 12:00 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MBCollaboration between science and policy is essential to create meaningful legislation and international agreements on climate change and other important issues. We talked to Dr. Julian Reyes, climate scientist and AAAS STP Fellow at the U.S. State Department, about his current work, his career path, and why it is important to have scientists at the policy table.

10 - Native American Perspectives on Climate Change Adaptation
December 08, 2020 12:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBNative American Tribes have lived in North America for thousands of years, navigating various climates to support their livelihoods. Yet, their expertise is often left out of the conversation around climate change adaptation. The USGS Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC) network have established close partnerships with Native Tribes, to produce actionable science for resource managers and to provide research and training opportunities for Tribal university students to integrate traditiona...
09 - Dilshanie Perera, postdoc in climate and inequality at the NYC Climate Museum
November 13, 2020 12:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBWe’ve all visited museums. We know what art museums and history museums look like. But what does a museum look like that focuses on climate and climate change? What exactly does it do, and who works there? To answer these questions, we chatted with Dr. Dilshanie Perera, who in September joined the New York City Climate Museum as postdoctoral fellow in climate and inequality.

08 - Joseph Trujillo, Hispanic weather risk communication researcher
September 28, 2020 22:37 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBSpoken in 11 percent of all U.S. households, Spanish is the second-most common language in the U.S. behind English. But when it comes to communicating the risks and dangers of tornadoes, hurricanes, or other severe weather events, meteorologists around the country use terms as they see fit, without knowing if their diverse audiences understand them and act appropriately. Joseph Trujillo, a Peruvian master student at the University of Oklahoma, is trying to change that. Using his expertise in ...

May 22, 2020 22:14 - 39 minutes - 72.9 MBSeven in ten researchers and engineers in the U.S. work in the the business sector, and only two in ten stay at universities. But many college graduates and postdocs aim primarily for tenure-track careers in academia. At the same time, many graduates and postdocs lack key soft skills, like communication, team work, or leadership, which are essential for working in the commercial, non-profit, or government sector. We sat down with Dr. Phil Clifford, a professor and associate dean in medicine a...

06 - Hailey Wilmer
May 06, 2020 18:33 - 38 minutes - 71.2 MBAccording to the USDA, U.S. ranchers own nearly 32 million beef cows, worth about $70 billion. As managing these herds and the grasslands they need for forage becomes more difficult due to climate change, we talked to Dr. Hailey Wilmer about the CARM (Collaborative Adaptive Rangeland Management) project in Colorado, that brings ranchers and agricultural researchers together to find management solutions that are informed by science and work in the real world. Host: Dr. Toni Klemm, Texas A&M ...
