Talk of Alaska: Beauty and the Geek – Climate Edition

Tue, January 8, 2008
Posted in Talk of Alaska

A modern playwright has an ancient way to get politicians to focus on climate warming — at least male politicians, that is. Playwright and performer Kathryn Blume joins us to talk about her one-woman play — The Boycott. (Does the name Lysistrata mean anything to you?)

Plus, we’re joined by scientist and researcher Dr. Matthew Sturm, leader of a 5,000-kilometer scientific expedition across the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic. He’s a snow science expert at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

We’re tracking climate changes and taking action this week on Talk of Alaska.
