February 07, 2017

It has been a wild couple of weeks since the inauguration of President Trump, and it doesn't look so great for scientists and the science community. We break down some of the early executive orders and directives that have really impacted many of our federal organizations. Also, we look back at the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting in Seattle and recap some of the highlights from our experience. And flying out of SeaTac International, Minh joined in on a protest against the Trump Travel Ban. Hear about his experience and also how you can take part in the March for Science on April 22, 2017. It is a jam-packed episode full of science and politics.
