About Charlie
I am fascinated by societies use of energy, space exploration and philosophy. I am a physicist by training and I have a PhD in planetary science from UC Santa Cruz. I’m currently working to help mitigate the energy-climate crisis by postdoc’ing at Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project. Born and raised on the Oregon coast, nature was my playground. My parents fostered my interest in science. Currently residing in San Francisco, I enjoy a false sense of urban superiority but savor opportunities to get some wilderness. I may come across as cynical and subdued on the show but that’s just me in character–life is rad.

This weather station is rad. It links to your wifi router and automatically logs your realtime weather data at weatherunderground.com with all of the other personal stations worldwide. My favorite personal weather station I’ve seen at wunderground: “Even the weather’s hip” -Mission District, San Francisco
