Katharine Hayhoe – Communicating Science In A Religious Context

AGU 2014 Tidbits – Anecdotes And Stories From The Front Lines Of Science

During the AGU Fall Meeting I had the honor of working with Peter Sinclair of Climate Denial Crock of the Week and John Cook of Skeptical Science, interviewing an amazing line-up of scientists and science communicators. I’m floored by who we interviewed and could have a chat with. Everyone brought their A game which gave us some incredible footage.

Video description

Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist and associate professor of political science at Texas Tech University. She's become a star in the climate science communication world with how effective she can communicate climate science to Christians. This is in part because she is an evangelical Christian herself. In this tidbit from our interview with her she talks about science communication and how her style was received.
