Friday, October 10, 2025 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM EDT

Nobel Peace Prize-winning climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla explores his roots in rural India and his rise through the field of climate dynamics, including his groundbreaking studies of monsoons and his pivotal role in the creation of modern weather forecasting. In his memoir, A Billion Butterflies: A Life in Climate and Chaos Theory, Shukla pairs a stark climate reality with the optimism and power of predictability in the face of chaos.
