Episode 37: The NAS Report: Social Science, Weather, and Beyond

On this new episode of WeatherHype we are breaking down the recently published National Academies of Science (NAS) report on the integration of social and behavioral sciences within the Weather Enterprise. As a podcast who frequently discusses social science, we first take a step back to examine the terms "social and behavioral sciences" and "weather enterprise." What do they mean, and what/who do they include? Next, we provide our major takeaway points from the 100-page report. What were the goals of the report? What were the recommendations? What does the future look like for integrating social and behavioral sciences in the weather enterprise? We answer all of these questions, in addition to the shenanigans of our daily lives and our songs of the week. Stick around, because WeatherHype is coming up next!
