    Episode 179: Ida Port-Mortem and Using Polar Orbiters to Track Wildfires

    In this episode I give an update on what had been Hurricane Ida, now moving through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys as a big rain-maker. A chronology of Ida is discussed highlighting the most interesting aspects of the tropical cyclone's brief but intense time on the weather stage. Also, the use of high-resolution infrared imagery from polar orbiting satellites for fire tracking is discussed, using the ongoing Caldor Fire in the Sierra Nevada as an example.  For images referenced in the discussion, see the episode on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/YC7_5p0dsOY

    Episode 176: America's Poor Scientific Literacy

    A new study by the University of Southern California highlights the difficulties the public may be having understanding the issues surrounding climate change because of a lack of comprehension in the terminology.  While this highlights a tendency of scientists to overuse technical jargon, it also underscores a more fundamental issue of scientific literacy, and literacy in general, that seems to be only getting worse.

    Episode 175: An Unsung Casualty of the Taliban Takeover: Scientists

    Somewhat lost in the current reporting on Afghanistan is the fact that during the past 2 decades, science has once again blossomed in Afghanistan after being decimated during their previous rule from 1996-2001.  Many Afghan scientists fear for the future of science and education, and many want out.  More details in the podcast.  The article referenced in the podcast can be found online at: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/i-don-t-want-die-afghan-researchers-fear-their-safety-and-future-science
