Episode Synopsis

Professor Devin Stein is redefining what it means to serve the public interest effectively. In a recent study on fire prevention in Northern California, he demonstrates how local planning—such as geo-mapping available logging roads—can enhance the effectiveness of state and federal response efforts during a wildfire. More broadly, his work explores all the different ways in which each of us belongs to various public communities, and how we can make each more effective by linking them together.
