Blue Dot 14: Yosemite's Scott Gediman, Plus Communicating Science With Azeen Ghorayshi

Scott Gediman is a ranger and spokesman for Yosemite National Park. We got the chance to speak with him during our spring membership drive, and it was so good we recut it for a proper airing! We also close the episode with a conversation with Azeen Ghorayshi, a science writer who is now working for the news arm of Internet Media behemoth BuzzFeed. She tells us about the power of science journalism and why she turned away from working in a laboratory. 

Dave Schlom is the longtime host and creator of Blue Dot. From surfing to Voyager in interstellar space, rock guitar to orcas in our imperiled oceans, the topics on Blue Dot are as varied as the host’s interests and connections -- which are pretty limitless! An internationally respected space history journalist, Dave is also deeply fascinated by all aspects of the grand workings of nature’s awesome machinery on scales ranging from galactic to subatomic. And topics take in all aspects of the arts and sciences.
