Communicating science is tough. As our understanding of our planet grows, so does the complexity of actions that are needed if we're going to sustain a livable planet. Like much of science, this podcast is an experiment. We're going to test out different things. We'll switch up formats, hosts, interviewers and topics. We want you to experience the diversity of people, expertise and thought that exists here at the Earth Institute and in places we work around the world. This podcast will tease out the common threads that drive the folks here and hopefully answer some big questions in the process: How do you know when development is sustainable? Why do we do what we do? And ultimately who we are as individuals working for this institution. Thanks for listening and supporting Pod of the Planet.
