NCSU/TISS ESI Understanding and Communicating Climate Science 

Join us on the third Wednesday of every month for a discussion of energy and security.  The luncheon series will be led primarily by local scholars. Its goal is to foster interdisciplinary exploration of some of our most pressing challenges.  Our January event will be led by Adam Terando and Michael Cobb of North Carolina State University. Dr. Terando, a research ecologist with the South East Climate Science Center, will outline the science of climate change.  Dr. Cobb, a political scientist whose research interests include the public reception of emerging technologies will discuss his work on public opinion and science policy (in the context of climate change) and the politics of the climate change debate. Dr. William Boettcher, also a political scientist, and the Director of the TISS/NCSU ESI, will provide a brief security framework for their discussion.

 Format:  Light Luncheon from 11:45am / Presentation from noon.  Discussion from 12:30 pm. Please let us know you are coming by the close of business day on the Friday before the event so that we can get an accurate luncheon count.
