Do you know what NOAA does? Or why this federal agency has (controversially) been in the news lately? With important offices like the National Weather Service and the National Ocean Service, NOAA – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – collects valuable data and conducts essential research that can mean the difference between national safety and widespread tragedy. On today’s episode, we’re going off the radar with two former NOAA employees: Tom Di Liberto, a climate scientist and public relations specialist who was laid off during government cutbacks; and Dr. Tracy Fanara, a scientist and regular TV figure who recently resigned from government work. We’ll be discussing the disconnect between NOAA’s lifesaving scientific research and the public’s confusion around this essential government agency.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
