Hi, all!
We now have our regularly scheduled time of meeting on the second Saturday of the month from 1-2:30pm. This aligns with the monthly International CCL call that we can tune in individually to watch, then meet directly via Zoom after the call wraps up. (Usually about 1:30 or 1:45, so I set our chapter meeting to start at 1:30 just in case.) This month we'll catch up on what smaller groups within our chapter have been up to (calling/texting potential environmental voters, contacting WLOS meteorologists) and talking about how to get more involved! (For those of you beer lovers, we could also use your help on another potential project, too!) The CCL Call will feature Dr. Kim Cobb from Georgia Tech: Alarmed by what their research on climate change is showing them, a growing number of scientists are stepping out of the lab to advocate for solutions. Dr. Kim Cobb, a professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, is among those speaking out. A leading expert in the study of corals and how climate change is affecting them, Dr. Cobb was devastated when, during a 2016 research trip to the South Pacific, she saw that most of the coral reef she had been studying was obliterated. "For me, it was a bellwether event... I decided to go 'all in' on climate solutions, personally and professionally." Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Oh, and special thanks to Courtney Umphlett for donating the use of her Zoom line!
