Kate Marvel at The Brattle Theatre

Harvard Book Store, the Harvard University Division of Science, and the Harvard Library welcome&nbsp;Kate Marvel—climate scientist and one of the premier science communicators working today—for a discussion of her new book&nbsp;Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet. She will be joined in conversation by&nbsp;Miriam Wasser—senior reporter with WBUR's climate and environment team. ABOUT Human Nature A captivating exploration&nbsp;of climate change that uses&nbsp;nine different emotions&nbsp;to better understand the&nbsp;science, history, and future&nbsp;of our evolving planet.&nbsp; Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day.&nbsp;In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it’s easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn’t just happening in those models.&nbsp;It’s happening here, to the only good planet in the universe.&nbsp;It’s happening to&nbsp;us.&nbsp;And she has feelings about that.&nbsp;&nbsp; Human Nature&nbsp;is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth.&nbsp;In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change.&nbsp;As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief—but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny,&nbsp;Human Nature&nbsp;is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world.&nbsp; BIOS Kate Marvel&nbsp;is a climate scientist and one of the premier science communicators working today. A former cosmologist, Marvel received a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge University. She led the “Climate Trends” chapter in the U.S. Fifth National Climate Assessment, has given a TED Talk, appeared on&nbsp;Meet the Press&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Ezra Klein Show, and testified before the U.S. Congress. She has&nbsp;written for&nbsp;Scientific American,&nbsp;Nautilus&nbsp;magazine, and the On Being Project. She lives in Brooklyn with her family. Miriam Wasser&nbsp;is a senior reporter with WBUR's climate and environment team. Before coming to WBUR, she was a staff writer for the&nbsp;Phoenix New Times&nbsp;in Arizona. Her work has also appeared in&nbsp;Boston Magazine, The Atlantic, Narratively, DigBoston&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Big Roundtable. Miriam holds a master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. She once wrote an 11,000-word story about the quirky — and sometimes dark — world of domestic rabbit breeding. Really.
