Earthsky Interviews
Deborah Byrd on EarthSky’s vision
08-01-2009 - Human World
You’ve heard the familiar voice of Deborah Byrd on the radio for 30+ years. Hear EarthSky founder and veteran science communicator talk about EarthSky’s vision.
“We’re focused on science,” said Byrd, “and we’re focused on the thoughtful future that science can help usher in for the 21st century.”
She said EarthSky is a new media company, reaching millions worldwide every day. Plus it is a community of scientists, sponsors, and staff working together to bring the voice of science to a large audience. EarthSky interviews scientists and brings their words and wisdom to 15 million people every day.
“We keep it all on a level that people can feel connected to,” said Byrd. “Because if the person listening feels connected to that scientist who is speaking, we’ve built a bridge between that scientist and that person. And that’s a great honor. It’s the work we try to do.”
Thanks, Deborah, for all you are doing. Who knows, perhaps the human family will soon come to see that we need to care for Earth’s ecology the way the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe among us protect their insatiably greedy interests in the unbridled growth of humanity’s soon to become unsustainable global economy.
Steve … we can hope. Thank you for visiting, and for your voice.
Thanks for your contribution to the world! My eyes are more open and my indifference towards our world has disappeared thanks to EarthSky.
Nicky, that’s kind of you to say. Everyone at EarthSky works HARD! Thanks for your comment.
