Pod of the Planet Ep. 14: Ask What Nature Can Do for You
Today we’re celebrating International Women’s Day with an interview with Professor Ruth DeFries on her new book, “What Would Nature Do? A Guide for Our Uncertain Times”
Communicating science is tough. And 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. That’s why we’ve introduced Pod of the Planet, a podcast about our changing planet and what we’re doing to manage that change.
Like much of science, Pod of the Planet is an experiment. We’re going to test different 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.
