Podcasts about Finding Nemo

When Avatar came out in 2009, it shattered box-office records.  And even though it was billed as a sci-fi epic featuring blue aliens on a far-away moon, the movie didn't shy away from a pretty Earth-based message of environmental conservation.So, with a third Avatar hitting theaters this weekend, we were inspired to bust out the popcorn, dim the lights, and play the part of pop culture critics. How do movies – from blockbusters to documentaries to Disney films –  shape our conception of the natural world?SUPPORTTo share your questions and feedback with Outside/In, call the show's hotline and leave us a voicemail.

Looking for honest reviews without Hollywood spin? This hour delivers tension, controversy, and Andy Peth's unfiltered opinion as he takes the mic for a Friday edition of https://RushToReason.com, delivering two sharply contrasting movie reviews that pull no punches. First up is Not Without Hope, a true survival story set in the unforgiving Gulf of Mexico. Starring Zachary Levi, the film asks a haunting question: what happens when elite athletes face an enemy they can't overpower—the ocean itself? Andy praises the acting, realism, and immersive camerawork, but questions the pacing. 11:10 – Not Without Hope movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★★½ | Political ★★ | Moral/Religious ★½ Then Andy turns his attention to the holiday slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Christmas horror film with a killer Santa and a disturbing moral twist. Does brutality equal horror? Andy doesn't think so. Despite a few solid performances and inventive moments, he finds the story implausible, boring, and wildly overrated. His verdict is brutal. 22:58 – Silent Night, Deadly Night movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★½ | Political ★★★ | Moral/Religious ★ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason turns cinematic as Andy Peth, joined by Luke Chasman and Tanner Coleman, dives headfirst into “Movies of the Sea”—from swashbuckling adventures to submarine warfare and shark-infested nightmares. What makes a great ocean movie: spectacle, tension, or pure fear? The crew debates classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws, praises modern standouts such as Aquaman (the first one), and contrasts them with notorious misfires like Pearl Harbor and Aquaman 2. The conversation plunges deeper with gripping submarine films, including Das Boot, U-571, The Hunt for Red October, and The Abyss, highlighting claustrophobia, sound design, and the terror of depth charges in total darkness. Sharks circle the discussion with Deep Blue Sea, The Meg, and even Sharknado, blending genuine tension with campy fun. Animated favorites like Finding Nemo spark nostalgia—and a sharp critique of how Pixar's magic has faded. Is fear more effective when it's realistic, or when it's ridiculous? Packed with rapid-fire opinions, humor, and movie-love energy, this hour asks one irresistible question: which sea movie still holds up when the water gets rough?

When my friend turned 30, her parents began a tradition of celebrating that milestone birthday with an extended family gathering at a resort or vacation home somewhere. That year, her celebration was held at a resort on the Oregon coast. Growing up on the east side of the Cascades, she didn't vacation at the coast. Why drive that far when there were lakes and campgrounds galore in her own backyard? The accommodations for the birthday weekend were beachfront with a deck on the west side- perfect for watching whales and sunsets. It was also the perfect perch for seagulls... who somehow sensed that this particular gaggle of guests were clueless when it came to knowing the appropriate protocols for engaging with coastal wildlife. They were familiar with campground wisdom about securing coolers and food supplies from bears. But seagulls seemed harmless... why not toss them a bit of pancake or two? Within seconds, it was like the seagull scene in Finding Nemo. They were being dive bombed by scores of greedy gulls, all squawking for their own precious piece of pancake!   We are in week three of our series, BLESSED: Living a Life God Blesses. Throughout this series, we're looking at four postures of the heart that invite God's blessing in our lives and reflect His nature through our lives. This week we're looking at the posture of generosity. Sharing doesn't come naturally - it has to be taught. But as we'll discover God's blessing in our lives was never intended to just be for us, but to be for others, through us. I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM.

Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Monday November 17th, 2025. 

State of the Arts Episode 259 is now available for streaming on Spotify! I am thrilled to welcome IMDB-credited actor Victor E. Chan to my podcast this week. A talented actor and vocalist I recently had the chance to see in the Off-Broadway musical “This Is Not a Drill” by Holly Doubet and Joseph McDonough. This was a powerful production that spotlights an underreported crisis in Hawaii, honors Hawaiian culture, and exposes the unfair appropriation embedded in tourist areas, which makes this episode a great fit for my Indigenous People's Series. My accomplished guest's career spans from film to television to the stage. He has been in many productions, including “Finding Nemo” the musical, a park production of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and the TV series “NCIS: Los Angeles”. Tune in for a riveting episode with this versatile creative whom I am honored to have on my podcast this week!

Clownfishes or anemonefishes are colorful saltwater fishes that mainly inhabit coral reefs in the warm and tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific.  Clownfishes have a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with sea anemones, which they rely on for shelter and protection from predators. In turn, clownfishes will protect the anemone from anemone-eating fish, as well as clean and fan them.  The popular film Finding Nemo is about a […]

ixar telah lama memantapkan dirinya sebagai standar emas dalam penceritaan sinematik. Film-film mereka, meskipun berlatar di dunia yang sangat berbeda—dari kamar tidur mainan hingga kedalaman lautan dan bahkan pikiran manusia—secara konsisten berhasil melakukan hal yang sama: menggerakkan penonton secara mendalam. Keajaiban ini bukanlah kebetulan, melainkan hasil dari seperangkat aturan dan teknik bercerita yang disengaja dan konsisten. Keberhasilan studio ini tidak hanya terletak pada visual yang memukau atau plot yang orisinal, tetapi pada kemampuannya yang luar biasa untuk menyentuh hati. Ini adalah metodologi yang berfokus pada emosi, karakter yang dibangun dengan cermat, dan struktur naratif yang kokoh. Penceritaan Pixar adalah sebuah eksplorasi mendalam tentang bagaimana memilih ide, membangun empati, menciptakan konflik, dan menanamkan tema universal untuk menghasilkan karya yang tak terlupakan. Semuanya dimulai dari pemilihan ide yang disebut "sumber emas" (mother lodes)—konsep-konsep yang memiliki potensi emosional bawaan yang sangat besar. Inti dari teknik mereka adalah mendorong karakter keluar dari "zona nyaman" mereka, sering kali dengan mengeksploitasi "cacat yang sudah ada" dalam diri mereka, seperti sikap terlalu protektif Marlin atau kesedihan mendalam Carl. Ketidaknyamanan maksimal inilah yang menjadi bahan bakar untuk perjalanan emosional, konflik, dan perubahan tulus yang mendefinisikan setiap cerita klasik Pixar.

Suzy and Diana revisit Pixar's Finding Nemo to talk about how the film hits differently as parents. They unpack Marlin's trauma and anxiety, Dory as a thoughtful nod to neurodiversity, why “family” is bigger than blood, and how to balance protection with independence. They also put Nemo through the Disney Moms Gone Wrong Hall of Fame criteria and land on a verdict.00:00 Welcome, “Hidden Mickey” kid cameos, why Nemo is on repeat at home02:00 2003 shocker, quick plot refresher03:40 Dory's humor and what she represents for neurodivergent listeners10:24 The parenting balance between protection and letting kids grow16:32 Marlin and Nemo's relationship shift from fear to trust21:07 Safe risks, helicopter parenting, and real life boundaries25:04 Family beyond blood: Bruce, Crush, Squirt, and the tank crew as a village31:39 Most emotional moments and why they land as parents38:31 Nemo's fin and talking about disability with care and support43:02 Hall of Fame debate and verdict46:01 Scheduling notes, shoutouts, sign offMarlin's overprotection is rooted in trauma and love, not control.

fWotD Episode 3074: Clownfish Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 4 October 2025, is Clownfish.Clownfishes or anemonefishes (genus Amphiprion) are saltwater fishes found in the warm and tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. They mainly inhabit coral reefs and have a distinctive colouration typically consisting of white vertical bars on a red, orange, yellow, brown or black background. Clownfishes developed a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with sea anemones, on which they rely for shelter and protection from predators. In turn, clownfishes will protect the anemone from anemone-eating fish, as well as clean and fan them, and attract beneficial microorganisms with their waste.Clownfishes are omnivorous and mostly feed on plankton. They live in groups consisting of a breeding female and male, along with some non-breeding individuals. Clownfishes have a size-based dominance hierarchy with the female ranking at the top, followed by the breeding male and then the largest non-breeder and so on. When the female disappears, the breeding male changes sex and takes her place while the others move up the hierarchy. During reproduction, the female deposits eggs on a rock near their anemone and the male fertilises them. After hatching, clownfishes disperse into the open ocean as larvae, eventually settling on the bottom and searching for an anemone host as juveniles.The recognisable colour patterns and social nature of clownfishes have contributed to their popularity. They are featured in the Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo (2003) and are sought after in the aquarium trade. The ocellaris clownfish ranks among the most commonly traded marine fish. Many captive clownfish were taken from the wild and this has led to their decline. Clownfishes are more numerous in marine protected areas, where collecting is forbidden. Other threats to populations include global warming which causes ocean warming and acidification.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:54 UTC on Saturday, 4 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Clownfish on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joanna.

In the 266th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are prepping for a weekend trip with the Upon a Star Team to Cancun... but before that, there is magic to be discussed. First, Jenn is getting ready for a day in Epcot with #KylaKylaKyla, Quasi Producer Heather (aka The Moana Mom) and several other Upon a STARS, while Dave is proud to announce the totals from the recent WDW Park Run Challenge The Candlelight Processional line up has been announced, and they run through that... the Halloween Party is completely sold out... and the incredible Disney Cruise Line promotion that ends on Sept 25th (today, as we publish and release!) Finally, the go along with our ideas for Epcot - when we were Epcot CEOs (episode 262) - we now tackle Animal Kingdom... if we were in charge of the park, knowing we cannot go crazy with new lands or big new rides, what would we do? Our ideas include what to do with Rafiki's Planet Watch... looking at Finding Nemo: the Musical... updating Pandora... fixing Kali River Rapids... more characters... and of course, addressing the issue with The Yeti.  And... hippos. We need more hippos.  And then we do dream a little bigger - what if we could do one big project?

Welcome back to The Latest Filmmakers Podcast, the show that takes you behind the scenes of the most anticipated films with the creative minds who make them. This week, we're honored to have a pair of brilliant artists to discuss their new psychological thriller, a film that explores the chilling depths of history, identity, and the burden of legacy. It's a short one but a good one as Dom Lenoir hosts. First, we have an actor whose illustrious career spans decades and genres, from his iconic portrayal of the Green Goblin in Spider-Man to his voice work as Gill in Finding Nemo and his Oscar-nominated roles as Sgt. Elias in Platoon, Max Schreck in Shadow of the Vampire, and Vincent van Gogh in At Eternity's Gate. He is, of course, the legendary Willem Dafoe. Joining him is a phenomenal talent making her feature film directorial debut. Known for her impactful work in theater and powerful short films like White Girl, she also co-wrote the screenplay for their new movie. Please give a warm welcome to director and writer Nadia Latif. They are here to discuss their new film, The Man in My Basement, an unnerving adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Walter Mosley.

A Note from JamesI'm honored to have today's guest: Tristan de Montebello, a finalist in the World Championship of Public Speaking. He also co-founded UltraSpeaking (ultraspeaking.com/james), where he teaches techniques to improve communication through games and real-world practice. We even played some of those games during this episode, and they surprised me with how much they revealed about my own speaking.Public speaking isn't just about giving a good talk—it's about understanding who you are, what you stand for, and how you connect with others. I've been speaking for more than 25 years, but I'm still always looking for ways to improve. At the end of the day, sharing ideas—through writing, storytelling, or speaking—is how you can change the world.This conversation with Tristan is fascinating because he's gone from zero experience to becoming one of the best in the world, all while reverse-engineering what it takes to truly connect with an audience.Episode DescriptionHow does someone go from a complete beginner to a world-class speaker in less than a year? Tristan de Montebello did exactly that—and in the process, he uncovered the strategies, mindsets, and training methods that make communication powerful.In this episode, James and Tristan break down the mechanics of storytelling, humor, vulnerability, and flow in speaking. They explore why audiences respond the way they do, how to use analogies to create connection, and why mindset is the foundation of every great communicator. Whether you're on a stage, in a meeting, or simply trying to share an idea with friends, these lessons will change the way you approach communication.What You'll LearnHow Tristan went from novice to World Championship finalist in under a year.Why humor and vulnerability are essential ingredients for authentic connection.Practical ways to use storytelling and analogies to make ideas stick.How to handle insecurity, fumbles, and “tough audiences” without breaking flow.Why mindset—not technique—is the foundation of great communication.Timestamped Chapters[01:00] A Note from James and introducing Tristan de Montebello[04:15] Inside the World Championship of Public Speaking[07:45] Humor, storytelling, and why connection matters[11:10] The Fear Olympics: lessons from Tristan's grandmother[16:30] “Never be the hero of your own story”[20:15] Breaking down stories like Finding Nemo[24:45] How Tristan trained humor like a stand-up comic[28:30] What great speakers and clowns have in common [33:20] Managing insecurities and staying in character[41:40] From finalist to struggling in an online mastermind[50:20] Slacklining as a metaphor for learning[54:10] Building analogies as a core communication skill [60:30] Reading tough or quiet audiences[67:15] Handling bias and building trust with skeptical crowds[69:45] Flow state in public speakingAdditional ResourcesUltraSpeaking – ultraspeaking.com/jamesToastmasters International – toastmasters.orgRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki – Amazon linkEight Mile (film referenced by James & Tristan) – IMDbSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're kicking off a brand-new series: Resort Wars — where Walt Disney World resorts go head-to-head, and only one can walk away with the crown! First up, it's a Value Resort throwdown between Disney's Pop Century and Disney's Art of Animation.Pop Century opened in 2003 and celebrates the nostalgia of the 1950s through the 1990s with larger-than-life icons and over 2,800 rooms. Meanwhile, Art of Animation debuted in 2012 with immersive theming from beloved Disney and Pixar films, offering standard Little Mermaid rooms and spacious family suites themed to Cars, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo.We pit these two fan favorites against each other across seven battle rounds — including theming & atmosphere, rooms & comfort, dining, transportation, recreation, overall value, and listener feedback. Who takes the win for pool bars and food courts? Which resort is more budget-friendly? And where will your family find the perfect blend of magic and convenience?Plus, we share results from our listener poll and highlight firsthand experiences and opinions from our amazing community to help settle the debate.Whether you're planning your next Disney vacation or just love a good Disney debate, this episode is packed with insight, tips, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your tie-dye cheesecake or swing by the Big Blue Pool — it's time to battle it out in Resort Wars: Pop Century vs. Art of Animation!

There's an ancient Western myth that's been adopted by the masses and often without their consent. It can be found in movies like Star Wars and Finding Nemo. It's in books like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. It's the secret theme included in your favorite TEDx Talk. And it's something that's taken for granted in almost every business podcast that exists.  Worst part? This myth may be responsible for your success… but, if left unchecked, it's responsible for the low-grade anxiety, under-the-surface numbness, and quiet sadness you feel but never talk about.  The same story that got you this far - to win, to prove, to conquer - is the very thing keeping you stuck.  It's The Hero's Journey and you can see its impact in nearly every kind of media you consume. But the problem is, stories never tell the full story - and after successfully going through The Hero's Journey, life takes on a bleak and gray undertone that whispers, “You're not enough and will never be enough.”  That's the bad news.  The good news? The Sage's Journey is the antidote to the dull ache of confusion inside you. But it's not a tale of conquering dragons, so you may have never heard of it. And it's definitely not as well known, even though it's just as ancient. That's because it's a quieter journey. One that happens in your internal world instead of the external one.  And it's the only way to unlock joy and lasting fulfillment in your life.  And that's what you'll discover when you tune into this week's show.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: How the “Warrior Identity” that's responsible for your success is also the root cause of your emotional exhaustion and lack of fulfillment in life (and how to upgrade your identity) (0:24)  The “Path of the Sage” secret to stop proving yourself and to start becoming yourself (2:26)  Why books, movies, graduation speeches, and even business podcasts silently fill you with an unquenchable sense of existential dread that only The Sage's Journey can solve (2:54)  How to experience unbridled joy, naturally, when you bend down to tie your shoes, as you browse through the grocery store, and when you hold a child (16:06)  The “Conquering Your Dragon” trap high achievers fall into that only reinforces your belief that you're not enough (and how to set your sword down and experience freedom for perhaps the first time) (20:24)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

How does your protagonist's final choice resolve the plot, character arc and theme? In this episode, Stu and Chas focus solely on the final choices made by protagonists and how that reflects their character journey and successfully, or not, dramatises the internal. We compare and contrast different uses of narrative POV in respect to these final choices, in particular whether and when the audience is made aware of the options available to the character, the act of making the choice, and the consequences of the choice.

This SPECIAL EPISODE introduces my new single “THE CUT OF THE KNIFE”. It's the last of the four new singles that I've released monthly beginning in March. The first was “Rough Rider”, the second was “Moon Shot”, and the third was “Day At The Races”.I wrote “The Cut Of The Knife as a kind of homage to Dave Brubeck, the revered American jazz pianist. His saxophonist, Paul Desmond, wrote a song called “Take Five”, and the Brubeck band recorded it in 1959 on their album “Time Out”. That tune has become the biggest selling jazz song of all time. It even became a big crossover hit on the radio.One of the things that made “Take Five” so cool was that it was written in an odd time signature, 5/4 time. So the song's title was a play on words about its time signature and it was also an inside musician's phrase telling the band to relax for five minutes before the next set.“The Cut Of The Knife” features an incredible Guest Artist on guitar solo - Kerry Marx, the Musical Director of the Grand Ole Opry band who has been a guest on this podcast. His credits include touring with Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton-John and Don McLean, recordings with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, movie albums like “Finding Nemo”, and music awards shows like Billboard, CMA and the American Music Awards.And a shout out goes to two of my longtime Project Grand Slam band mates - Baden Goyo on keys and Joel E. Mateo on drums. Both play terrific solos on the new single. And Joel's drum solo is particularly meaningful because Joe Morello, Brubeck's drummer, played a memorable drum solo on “Take Five”.“The Cut Of The Knife” has been called “Elegant”, “Beautiful” and “A Wonder”!CLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKSCLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S RECENT SINGLES:“DAY AT THE RACES” is Robert's single that captures the thrills, chills and pageantry of horse racing's Triple Crown.

What a surreal moment - getting to chat with Thomas Newman and Julia Newman! Whether you're a big film music fan or a casual film goer, I'll guess that you're familiar with Tom, having been nominated for fifteen Academy Awards (I accidentally say fourteen...) and scoring projects like The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Finding Nemo & Finding Dory, 1917, and loads more. Now, Julia is picking up the family's film and tv scoring mantle, and the two of them recently co-scored Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, a dramatization of the Menendez brothers crimes. We use the series as a jumping off point for the conversation, regularly referring to and discussing it while also pivoting into broader conversations about collaboration, improvisation and working quickly, the use of theme and repetition, and plenty more. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is currently on Netflix, and Tom and Julia's score (as well as much of their other work) is available on all major platforms. 

Dr. Adam Summers is a Professor in the School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences and Department of Biology at the University of Washington, and he conducts research in his lab within the Friday Harbor Laboratories there. With a background in engineering and mathematics, Adam works on applying engineering and physics principles to living systems. He uses lessons from the natural world to develop solutions to real-world problems like how to filter things, stick to things, burrow in sand, and move quickly and efficiently under water. Adam and his family live on a small island where they enjoy hiking and hanging out by the sea shore together. In addition, Adam is a licensed pilot, so you can often spot him spending his free time flying small planes. He completed his bachelor's degree in mathematics and engineering at Swarthmore College, and afterwards worked as a SCUBA instructor in Australia. Adam next decided to pursue graduate school, receiving his master's degree in Biology from New York University and his PhD in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Massachusetts. He received a Miller Research Postdoctoral fellowship to conduct research at the University of California, Berkeley and went on to serve as a faculty member at UC, Irvine before joining the faculty at the University of Washington. Adam has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In addition, he was awarded the Bartholmew Prize for physiology research from the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology, the UC, Irvine Academic Senate prize for undergraduate teaching, as well as the Directors award for program management excellence from the National Science Foundation. He also writes a monthly biomechanics column in Natural History Magazine and served as scientific advisor for the Pixar films “Finding Nemo” and the recently released sequel “Finding Dory”. Adam is here with us today to talk a little about his research and tell us all about his journey through life and science.

Mutant super-powers give Korean sea women diving abilitiesThe Haenyeo, or sea women, of the Korean island of Jeju have been celebrated historically for their remarkable diving abilities. For hour after hour they dive in frigid waters harvesting sea-life, through pregnancy and into old age. A new study has shown they are able to do this because of specific genetic adaptations that appeared in their ancestors more than a thousand years ago. These genes make them more tolerant to the cold, and decrease diastolic blood pressure. The women also spend a lifetime training, beginning to dive at age 15 and continuing on until their 80s or even 90s. Melissa Ilardo of Utah University and her team published their findings in the journal Cell Reports.This dessert is automatic and autonomous Care for a slice of robo-cake? Scientists in Europe have baked up a cake with pneumatically powered animated gummy bears, and candles lit by chocolate batteries. They think their edible robotics could develop in the future to food that could bring itself to the hungry and medicine could deliver itself to the sick. Mario Caironi of the Italian Institute of Technology and his colleagues presented their creation at Expo 2025 Osaka.Shrinking Nemo — heat is causing clownfish to downsizeScientists have found that clownfish, made famous by the Disney movie Finding Nemo, have an ability never seen before in fish in the coral reefs. When the water they live in gets warmer, they are able to shrink their bodies — becoming a few per cent of their body length shorter — to cope with the stress of the heat. Melissa Versteeg of Newcastle University says the size of the clown anemonefish is important for their survival and their ranking within their hierarchical society. The research was published in the journal Science Advances.When the music moves you — the brain science of grooveYou know that groove feeling you get when you listen to certain music that compels you to shake your bootie? Scientists in France investigated how our brains experience groovy music to better understand how we anticipate rhythms in time. They discovered that we perceive time in the motor region that controls movement. Benjamin Morillion from Aix Marseille Université said they also found a specific rhythm in the brain that helps us process information in time, that could predict if a person thought the music was groovy. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.Scientists hope a new storm lab will help us understand destructive weatherExtreme weather is far less predictable than it used to be, and now a new research centre at Western University wants to transform our understanding of Canada's unique weather systems. The Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory will collect nation-wide data on extreme weather, including hailstorms, tornadoes, and flash flooding, and look for patterns to help predict where they'll be hitting and how to prevent the most damage. Producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke with:Greg Kopp, ImpactWX Chair in Severe Storms Engineering and CSSL founding director at Western UniversityHarold Brooks, senior research scientist at NOAA's National Severe Storms LaboratoryJohn Allen, associate professor of meteorology at Central Michigan UniversityPaul Kovacs, executive director of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction at Western University.Tanya Brown-Giammanco, director of Disaster and Failure Studies at NIST
