Tuesday night – Jon’s talk

Six below this morning .. feels good ! 

Had a fun meeting this morning,. got to learn to ‘drive’ the new simulator. Happy to see one of the demos that shannon, isa and I built  beign used to help tell the planes story.. (this is the one room in the building where photos are allowed 🙂 

After work I headed to UVM to watch the public talk form cousin Jon aon Planetary health. He’s helped create the feild of Planetary Health.. it casts climate change as a public health issue.. .He then  uses that to cast efforts to combat climate change as making good financial sense beyond their impact on quality of life.   He’s a great story teller.. he spent soem of his time laying out the climate challenge.. then talked about how we need to shape our arguments and explanations to the  specific audience we’re tryign to reach . why there’s hope. 

my personal favorite

john and jean are heading out tommorow.. so it was time to say goodbye.. ut had been a great visit !

great visit
