Welcome to getting curious. I'm Jonathan Van Ness and every week I sit down for a 40 minute

conversation with a brilliant expert to learn all about something that makes me curious.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Dr.

Suu Kyi Tylotti, a geoengineering governance fellow with the Union of Concerned

Scientists, where I ask her what exactly is geoengineering anyway and how can it save the world.

Welcome to getting curious, this is Jonathan Venice. We have the most exciting guest this week, and we met the most incredibly exciting way.

If you picture it, it was Washington, D.C.

I think I was wearing a leotard and a high-waisted skirt.

And it was a super cute skirt. It was a really cute skirt and I was minding my own business walking by the Capitol building when I look up and I see Dr. Succi Tallate

and you're standing there and I'm on these steps and I think I was doing a photo shoot and you just so happened to walk like right next to us at the right place at the right time.

And I was totally staring.

But like it was really just an incredible moment because I think like mother nature or like someone told me like you need to talk to them because like that person has a story and next thing I knew we were talking and I really,

my intuition couldn't have been firing on any more of all cylinders.

So basically, tell people like what your title is because it's not what I keep saying it is but you have like a

really incredible title. So I'm the G. Engineering Governance Fellow at the

Union Concerned Scientists. Let's say it one more time the the geoengineering governance fellow at the Union of Concerned

Scientists so geoengineering is such like a 75 dollar word it is it is a strange topic but one that we definitely need to talk about.

It's not strange. So an engineer is.

So an engineer is basically, it's like a a scientist but it's more about applying the science to the real world.

And a geologist...

So geologist studies the earth and so geoengineering is kind of a misnomer

it's a set of approaches that are large-scale interventions in the Earth's climate
