Coffee & Geography 5x00 Kit Marie Rackley (Host Opinion: Populism & Science Denial)

Before we get cracking on an exciting new season on #CoffeeGeogPod, host Kit Marie lays their thoughts and feelings bare on current affairs. The re-election of Trump, effective concession that we'll miss 1.5C #climatechange target, increasing hostility to the science community, step-up in anti-trans actions and rhetoric... It's all seems overwhelming. But Kit Marie and the communities she is a part of are not going anywhere and they spell out how they are moving forward, suggesting how and why friends and colleagues in the #transgender, #SciComm and education/#teaching communties should more forward too. You can also watch Kit Marie give their thoughts over on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCDor2eQRCM =About Coffee & Geography== The aim of ‘Coffee & Geography’ is to get to know, explore and celebrate the diverse & intersectional range of people and their love for the world.
