On Climate and Common Sense—Sally Benson, Stanford University

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: A university campus is a destination for all kinds of interesting people, so why not invite some of these folks out to brunch, where we’ll have an informal conversation about their work, and then we’ll turn those brunches into a podcast?

It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In episode two, host Ted Fox talks with Sally Benson, the co-director of Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy, about how much common ground there is to be found among the scientific community, industry, and all the rest of us when it comes to addressing the challenges posed by our changing climate.
