"HUMAN NATURE" by Kate Marvel
Kate Marvel is a climate scientist and one of the premier science communicators working today.
A former cosmologist, Kate received a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge University, where she was a Gates Scholar. She served on the chapter leadership team of the US Fifth National Climate Assessment, gave a TED talk, appeared on Meet the Press and The Ezra Klein Show, and testified before the US Congress.
She has written for Scientific American, Nautilus magazine, and the On Being project.
Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it’s easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn’t just happening in those models. It’s happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It’s happening to us. And she has feelings about that.
