For the purposes of this show, I operate on two mottoes:

• You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts;
• An educated electorate is a prerequisite for a democracy.

GUEST(S):

• Dr. Paul Havlak holds a doctorate in computer science from Rice University. He’s been a bioinformatics researcher and instructor for the last 15 years, analyzing the genomes of humans and other animals. Paul’s a member of First Unitarian Universalist Church here in Houston, and an organizer for their science lecture series.
• Dr. Stephanie Thomas is an earth scientist and activist in Houston. She received her Ph.D. from Southern Methodist University, where she researched ancient climate and environmental change 251 million years ago by analyzing ancient soil in Northwest China. She received a B.S. from Tulane University and an M.S. from University of Nebraska. Stephanie is interested not only in the science of climate change, but also how we can shift our behavior to mitigate and adapt to environmental change by incorporating insights from neuroscience, human evolution, trauma resiliency, psychology, and sustainable practices.

TOPIC(s):  “Awakening in a Time of Climate Change”, AND KPFT’s Spring Fund Raiser!
