Science Speaks is a new short-form video series from the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center that highlights the people and science driving real-world climate solutions. Each episode, hand-shot in many cases by the scientists themselves, features researchers whose work is helping communities, ecosystems and economies across the North Central United States adapt to a changing climate, from supporting farmers and ranchers to safeguarding wildlife, water and other natural resources. Through their own voices, scientists share how research becomes action on the ground.

Check out our first episode, featuring Chilton Tippin's research from the Rapid Climate Assessment Program here.
