Core Samples: A Climate Scientist’s Experiments in Politics and Motherhood
by Anna Farro Henderson
Core Samples illuminates the messy, contradictory humanity of our scientific and political institutions by exploring how science is done, discussed, legislated, and imagined. Grounded in her experiences as a climate scientist, an environmental policy advisor to Minnesota Senator Al Franken and Governor Mary Dayton, and a constant juggler of the many responsibilities of professional moms, Anna Farro Henderson exposes the flaws in research institutions, the halls of government, and the role of science in policy, showing how each crack is also an invitation for camaraderie, creativity, and change.
