Climate scientist and policy expert Anna Farro Henderson embarks on a remarkable narrative journey in Core Samples: A Climate Scientist's Experiments in Politics and Motherhood (U Minnesota Press, 2025), exploring how science is done, discussed, legislated, and imagined. Through stories both raucous and poignant--of far-flung expeditions, finding artistic inspiration in research, and traversing the systemic barriers women and mothers face in science and politics--she brings readers into the daily rhythms and intimacies of scientific research and political negotiation. Grounded in her experiences as a climate scientist, an environmental policy advisor to Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton, and a constant juggler of the many roles and responsibilities of professional moms, Henderson's eclectic, unconventional essays range from observations, confessions, and meditations on lab and fieldwork to a packing list for a trip to the State Capitol and a lactation diary. Readers are invited on voyages as far afield as the Trinity nuclear test site in New Mexico, the Juneau Icefield in Alaska, and a meteor crater in Ghana--and as close to home as a town hall meeting in America's corn belt. A love letter to science and a bracing (and sometimes hilarious) portrait of the many obstacles women, mothers, and people digging for truth navigate, Core Samples illuminates the messy, contradictory humanity of our scientific and political institutions. Bringing us behind the closed doors of discovery and debate, Henderson exposes the flaws in research institutions, the halls of government, and the role of science in policy, yet she shows how each crack is also an invitation for camaraderie, creativity, and change. Dr. Anna Farro Henderson is a Canadian American paleo-ecologist/climate scientist and writer. She was an environmental policy adviser to the Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mark Dayton. She is a fellow at the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota. She is on the faculty at the Mitchell Hamline Law School. She has also worked as a consultant and climate advocate. She is a creative writing instructor at the Loft Literary Center, and as a renowned author she has a number of articles published in well know environmental and literary publications, such as: Orion, Terrain and The Common. She has a long list of and writing awards and Literary Fellowships to her name. She now lives with her family in Minnesota, where she makes daily visits to the Mississippi River.

Seg 1: Why most people are right handed but left eyed Roughly 90% of humans are right-handed, and most people also use their left visual field (controlled by the right side of the brain) to recognize faces and emotions. These biases start in early childhood. Guest: Dr. Gillian Forrester, Professor of Comparative Cognition at the University of Sussex Seg 2: View From Victoria: Eby returns to work Premier David Eby returns to work and will be faced with questions about healthcare in the province. We get a local look at the top political stories with the help of Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer. Seg 3: Is North America's largest icefield about to hit an irreversible tipping point? The Juneau Icefield, one of North America's largest, is melting at an accelerated rate and nearing an irreversible tipping point, according to new research. Guest: Dr. Bethan Davies, Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography at Newcastle University Seg 4: Should we reframe Canadian history? An Indigenous History website, launched in 2018 by seven established Indigenous scholars, serves to challenge dominant historical narratives that marginalize Indigenous perspectives and offers accessible reading lists, oral history podcasts, and profiles of Indigenous historians. Guest: Dr. Mary Jane Logan McCallum, Professor of History and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous People, History and Archives at the University of Winnipeg Seg 5: Are solar panel roofs worth the investment? With the growing need for clean energy, does it make sense to install solar panels on your house? Guest: Shaun Mayhew, President and Founder of Penfolds Roofing and Solar Seg 6: Is Canada politically lost and in need of a correction? On Monday, Members of the Federal NDP called on the government to reduce grocery prices during an event in Vancouver. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh criticized the Liberals and Conservatives for voting against a plan proposed by the New Democrats to lower grocery prices, claiming this leaves Canadians struggling with high food costs while grocery CEOs profit significantly. Guest: Jagmeet Singh, Leader of Canada's New Democratic Party Seg 7: The problem of people self identifying as indigenous Deputy Minister Gina Wilson of Indigenous Services Canada addressed the issue of Indigenous identity in the public service, urging honesty in self-identification in an internal blog.

If you couldn't get enough of ice in the last episode, never fear, because I could talk about it for ages! In this episode I'll discuss different forms of ice besides just glaciers with my friend Mariama Dryak, who has spent years looking at Antarctica through satellite images and led expeditions on the Juneau Icefield in Alaska last summer.

Dani Inkpen talks about expedition life in the Juneau Icefield, home to some of the most spectacular glaciers in North America. In the 1940s, it was the place where science and mountaineering joined hands and, occasionally, came into conflict. Inkpen is a Faculty Fellow at NYU Gallatin. She is the author of "The Scientific Life in the Alpine: Recreation and Moral Life in the Field," (Isis, Sept 2018).

Anyone else a ‘bad’ science student in high school? For those who haven’t been indoctrinated, earth science can be all intimidating facts and hard edges. Hannah Perrine Mode is an abstract artist who has found a connection to science through her artwork. Her experiences as a science communicator as part of the Juneau Icefield Research Program in Alaska have opened her up to more diverse methods of sharing glacial and earth science with people - on and off the icefield. We talk about how Hannah went from being a self-described ‘bad’ science student to using abstract art to tell the stories of glaciers to creating an installation at Google featuring women scientists. Woman featured in this episode: Hannah Perrine Mode Hosted by Gale Straub In this episode you'll hear: Why Hannah advocates for more hands-on science in high school and college How both creating art and spending time outside became an entry point for Hannah to learn more about science and geology About Hannah's love of and fascination with glaciers How she got involved with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) Why Hannah argues for diverse methods of science communication The important role art plays in conservation conversations About her installation at Google that celebrates female scientists What Hannah hopes for the future of science and art Why Hannah doesn't have her career all figured out but has been enjoying looking back and seeing what has followed her throughout it so far Advice for other artists Head to She-Explores.com to meet us on our book tour!

After Brette Harrington's partner, Marc-André Leclerc, disappeared during a climb on Mendenhall Tower in Alaska in March, along with Ryan Johnson, Brette felt compelled to return to the Juneau Icefield in southeast Alaska repeatedly last summer and climbed numerous new routes in the Mendenhall Towers and elsewhere. In September, she and Gabe Hayden completed a difficult first ascent on the rarely climbed Devil's Paw. In this episode, Brette talks with Chris Kalman about this new route and also how her climbs above the Juneau Icefield have helped her through such a difficult time. The Cutting Edge is presented by Hilleberg the Tentmaker, with additional support for this episode from Julbo Eyewear. This podcast is produced by the American Alpine Club.
