SCIENTIFICA RADIO- Ep.1 Women in STEM

On this episode we discuss the intersection between COVID-19,  the environment and Black communities, with Jared DeWese (@JaredDeWese). DeWese is a Senior Communications Advisor for the climate and energy program at Washington-based think tank Third Way. Their work is tackling the gap of Black inclusion in the climate change movement and sharing Black community voices and perceptions about the environment. 

We also discuss DeWese's  recent  op-ed for the Hill titled “Black people are dying from coronavirus, air pollution is one of the main culprits.”
