Description

Guests: Jen Henderson, PhD - Postdoctoral Fellow with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences in Boulder, CO.  Julie Demuth, PhD - Research Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Lab Description:Today, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Jen Henderson, a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences in Boulder, CO and Dr. Julie Demuth, a Research Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Lab. Both are dedicating their research to understanding the social science between severe weather warnings and why people make the decisions they do in the face of potentially damaging and life-threatening weather. Preservation of life is their main mission, and they hope to accomplish this by bridging the gap between sociology and meteorology by leading the charge to find the best ways to communicate life-saving information to the public! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You see it every day. It’s the subject of poetry, literature, art and film. It can inspire spiritual experiences, and it can destroy everything you have ever worked for. It is the weather, and no one knows it better than we do. Join us every week for the agony and the ecstasy of the one story that the entire world participates in and the science behind it. From the people behind The Weather Channel TV network.
