Daybreak

For the past seven days, a winter storm has rocked the state of Texas. But why Texas? What made this winter storm so catastrophic for them, while the rest of the country largely persisted? And what can states do to protect against these disasters in the future? Today, we talk through these questions and more with Jesse Jenkins, an assistant professor at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.

This episode was recorded and produced by Francesca Block and Mark Dodici under the 145th Managing Board of The Daily Princetonian. The theme was composed and performed by Ed Horan ’22.

Last month, The Marriage Pact survey swept through campus, promising to find students “their optimal marital back-up plans” through a mathematical algorithm. The ‘Prince’ podcast team partnered with The Prospect to see how the social experiment fared on Princeton’s campus. 

On this Valentine’s Day episode of Daybreak, we speak with Phoebe Park ’21 and Andrew White ’23 — a USG officer who helped bring the Marriage Pact to Princeton and a gap year student who received a particularly strange match, respectively. 

Today’s episode was written by Francesca Block and produced under the 145th managing board of the Prince. All interviews for this episode were conducted by Prospect Writer Cathleen Weng. Our theme was composed by Ed Horan ’22. Graphic credit: Sydney Peng / The Daily Princetonian.
