Dr Judith Curry is the President and co-founder of the Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN).  She is Professor Emerita at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she served as Chair of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences for 13 years. Her expertise is in climate dynamics, extreme weather, and prediction/predictability. Judith is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geophysical Union.

Following an influential career in academic research and administration, Judith founded CFAN to translate cutting-edge weather and climate research into forecast products and services that support the management of weather and climate risk for public and private sector decision-makers. Judith is a leading global thinker on climate change. She is frequently called upon to give U.S. Congressional testimony and serve as an expert witness on matters related to weather and climate. Her influential blog Climate Etc. addresses leading-edge and controversial topics about climate change and the science-policy interface. Her new book is Climate Uncertainty and Risk - Rethinking the climate change problem, the risks we are facing, and how we can respond.

The conversation explores the biases in climate change research and the impact on funding and career advancement. It delves into the history and ethics of science, highlighting the presence of personal motives and professional rivalry. The need for a broader intellectual and moral foundation in scientific education is discussed, emphasizing the importance of ethics and philosophy. The conversation also addresses the power politics involved in science and medicine, leading to a lack of trust in these fields.

This is a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy it.
