    In our latest episode, we chat with scientist-turned-climate-journalist (and master debunker) to talk about the state of climate reporting. Also, and I nerd out about trilobites and how warmer temperatures are affecting what bears eat.

    The NSF has stopped issuing new grants, upcoming NASA launches could be delayed and NOAA's climate databases are offline. Why many US scientists are weary, worried and demoralized by the ongoing government shutdown.
