  • The Pandas Should Have Been a Red Flag

    Stuart and Carolyn speak with Sarah Dobie of the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan about her fascinating new paper on defining "resilience" in the Great Lakes. Resilience is a complicated topic and people frequently use the term differently. But maybe that's okay? Maybe we can learn as much from the differences in definitions as we can from similarities? Plus: We feature a cool Lakie nominee and get some Non-Zingermans Ann Arbor recommendations!
