Join Bonita Green (Merrick-Moore Community Development Association), Max Cawley & Imani Vincent (Museum of Life and Science), Tim Stallmann (Research Action Design), L'Tanya Durante and John Killeen (DataWorks NC) as we discuss our recent collaboration to bring resident-collected heat island data into public knowledge and conversation.

This episode refers to:

  • The CAPA Heat Watch study supported by the Museum of Life and Science in Durham.
  • Heat islands and cool oases across a segregated landscape.
  • Climate change that is happening now.
  • What do we need to do locally with housing and other policies to protect people from heat?
  • Data we've published together on the Durham Compass.
