[Nsa] Invitation: “Earth: The Operators’ Manual”

[Simone Tilmes]

You are invited to join famed documentary filmmaker Geoffrey 
Haines-Stiles and go behind the scenes of “Earth: The Operators’ Manual” for
selected clips, rarely seen footage, and commentary from the 
writer-director himself here at our Mesa Lab. He will share lessons from 
the project that are both informative and amusing, highlighting 
strategies for communicating science that have worked along the way -- 
and others that have not.

    Date: Friday, September 14, 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
    Venue: ML-132 Main Seminar Room*

A Q&A session will be part of this discussion, with a cocktail reception 
with Geoff to follow.

*Seating is limited for this event. Please RSVP by September 5 at the
following link: https://survey.ucar.edu/s?s=8358

I look forward to seeing you there. Please contact me with any questions 
you may have.

Best regards,

Matt Hirschland


About the film

In April 2011, the NSF-sponsored documentary mini-series 'Earth: The 
Operator's Manual' debuted on PBS, bringing hope that the programs would 
stir the national dialogue on climate science.  Filmed by acclaimed 
writer and director Geoff Haines-Stiles it features Penn State geologist 
Richard Alley. Link: http://www.pbs.org/programs/earth-the-operators-manual/

"Earth: The Operators’ Manual” dispenses with politics, polemics or 
punditry; instead, it presents an objective, accessible assessment of 
the Earth’s problems and possibilities that will leave viewers informed, 
energized and optimistic.

“If we approach Earth as if we have an Operators’ Manual, we can avoid 
climate catastrophes, improve energy security, and make millions of good
jobs.”
—Richard Alley, Host of “Earth: The Operators’ Manual”
