Given the gravity of the problems posed by global climate change, there's a growing need to make the expertise at Berkeley available to the public and policy makers. A commitment to reaching beyond the campus is one of the signature characteristics of this endeavor — and, indeed, Berkeley as whole. Not only to assess the potential societal impacts, but to help society prepare for and mitigate those impacts. To that end, we are using this gathering to inaugurate a conversation between journalists and scientists. This is just the beginning. What did today's discussions look like through the eyes of reporters who will be writing about climate change in the coming years? What potential is there for translating what we discussed today into compelling and illuminating stories that will reach decision-makers? To explore these questions, we've assembled a panel of students from the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Graduate Students reporting on the story of the day: Mateo Hoke, Zach St. George, Tanya Dimitrova, Erik Neumann, Jean Spencer, Tawanda Kanhema.
