Moderated by Daniel Wolfe, graphics reporter for The Washington Post and a 2024 alum of Metcalf's Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists, Guenther will discuss her investigation into the propaganda that justifies the fossil-fuel economy and offer listeners new ways to talk about the climate crisis in an effort to create transformative change.
