Please join the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media (PCSSM) and the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) for a talk from renowned climate scientist and climate communicator Dr. Katharine Hayhoe with an introduction from PCSSM Director Dr. Michael Mann.

Talk Abstract: Scientists are often stereotyped as detached, value-free thinkers, yet it is often our humanity that compels us to address complex crises like climate change. The real question is not whether scientists should engage with society, but how we can do so in ways that advance truth and, increasingly, justice. Drawing on social science research and her own experience, Hayhoe will explore how engaging both minds and hearts enables science to move beyond simply informing to inspiring collective action for a better future.
