Nature Bats Last

Kevin, Guy, and Pauline hosted a celebratory call-in show. We provided a history of the show and then hosted a wide-ranging conversation with several callers.

Kevin and Guy were joined by Dr. Andrew Christ, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Vermont who has conducted considerable field research in Antarctica. We discussed Dr. Christ’s research on the cryosphere, including his work related to Antarctica and Greenland.

Kevin and Guy were joined by Dr. Jamey Hecht, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Psychology. We discussed Hecht’s personal path leading to his ongoing efforts, which are focused on mental health.

Kevin and Guy were again joined by Jim Massa, a science educator with broad experience in teaching students of various ages. We discussed Massa’s ongoing efforts to teach the masses about climate change, oceanography, paleontology, and other matters of environmental importance. Jim joined us earlier this year for the January 2021 episode ofNature Bats Last(https://naturebatslast.podbean.com/e/nature-bats-last-jim-massa-010520/ [https://naturebatslast.podbean.com/e/nature-bats-last-jim-massa-010520/]).

Kevin, Guy, and Pauline Schneider were joined by long-time educator Mimi Riley, Sociology Instructor at Butte College in Chico, California. Mimi was among the first faculty members to embrace Guy’s evidence-rich conclusion regarding near-term human extinction. We discussed the purpose and strategies of contemporary educators.
