Tue 7 Nov, 6 pm. Smathers 100, UF Main Campus, Gainesville, 32611. 352-392-1864x255. Florida Climate Institute - [floridaclimateinstitute][email][events]
Western park ranger turned environmental journalist Jordan Fisher Smith, author of Engineering Eden: The True Story of a Violent Death, a Trial and the Fight Over Controlling Nature, who also works in film and magazines, will lecture on how we share scientific knowledge in an era of alternative facts, when even park rangers are constrained in their campfire circle talks (making environmental communication that much more important).
Sponsored by UF’s departments of History and Journalism, with additional support from the Center for the Humanities in the Public Sphere and the George A. Smathers Libraries.
