Synopsis

We’re kicking off the show by reviewing some of the major findings from the federal government’s Fourth National Climate Assessment (https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/)released this last year. Then, Yaamini Venkataraman takes us on a deep dive into oysters and their underlying defense mechanisms against ocean acidification, and discusses her sources of hope in the midst of global change. You can learn more about Yaamini at her website (https://yaaminiv.github.io/about/) and get the latest updates on her research through Twitter @YaaminiV.
