We spent a good chunk of last summer in dark little rooms in the Midwest, interviewing some of the leading ecologists and environmental scientists in the country. It was captivating work and an immense privilege to sit down for an hour conversation with this group of people. We’ll have lots more to share about the two projects that are currently in production. For now, we’ll post an image from the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting last August in Minneapolis. Below Sara interviews Jane Lubchenco, who until recently, headed up NOAA for the Obama administration.

Sara and I also filmed at, and participated in, Nancy Baron’s COMPASS communications training for this year’s Leopold Leadership Fellows. Each year’s Fellows dedicate a year to learning how to take a leadership role in turning science into policy and communicating their work to non-academic audiences. As we did for a training in Tanzania in 2011, we joined an amazing group of journalists including Christopher Joyce from NPR (below), Cornelia Dean from the New York Times, Mark Fischetti from Scientific American, and Lisa Johnson from the CBC.
