Ben Talks Miami: Our Fragile Moment

Earth wasn’t always a place for humans. But at some point in its long history, the Earth’s environment changed, creating niches where human civilization could thrive, along with climate challenges that continued to spur innovation.

Join climate scientist Michael Mann, in conversation with Penn Arts & Sciences’ Associate Dean for the Natural Sciences Mark Trodden, for a wide-ranging discussion of our climate crisis, how humans have responded to climate challenges in the distant past, and how to arm ourselves with the knowledge – and will – to act now.

A dinner reception and warm conversation with fellow alums open the evening, followed by our faculty discussion and dessert post-reception. 

Featured Panelists

Michael Mann, Presidential Distinguished Professor and Director of Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media
Mark Trodden, Associate Dean for the Natural Sciences and Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics
