We talk to Dr. David Grinspoon, comparative planetologist, author, the inaugural Chair of Astrobiology at the Library of Congress, and the host of our second event: “Comparative Planetology as a Catalyst for Climate Conversation.” Learn about his diverse experiences and how he uses the climate models of other worlds to understand our own.
