Welcome to the science podcast for January 26, 2018. I'm Sarah Crespi. In this week's show,

Catherine Mattisick discusses geoengineering.

Okay, say we do get an aerosol sun shield that protects the planet. What happens if it gets turned off?

And Augustine Kong joins us to discuss a new way of thinking about nature versus nurture.

How do our parents' genes affect us even when we don't inherit them?

Now we have Catherine Madisick, an editor for our daily news site.

She's here to talk about geoengineering.

Welcome, Catherine.

But what happens if we do do it and then stop doing it? Okay, let's go through how it works first and then get to the newest, what if, Catherine.

Okay, so tell us about geoengineering.

Geoengineering is a big word.

And the reason it is, or it's a big concept, I guess I should say.

And the reason it is is because it primarily covers very large scale systems that are looking to somehow affect the global climate.
