Why does skepticism of global warming and the human contribution to climate change persist despite scientific consensus? How do scientists convey their message clearly to the public in an age of media diversity where hard journalism is increasingly displaced by opinion? Join Graduate Women in Science as we welcome climate scientist Mark Seeley, and science reporter Jessica Marshall, to discuss the facts, the consensus, and attempts being made to frame the science in a way the public will understand and accept. The second portion of the presentation will be an open discussion for questions and comments from the audience.

This presentation is free and open to the public.

A reception including a light dinner prior to the event will be held in the atrium of the Cargill Building beginning at 6 pm. $20 for nonmember professionals, $15 for students
