I like talking to reporters, especially when they ask me a question I never thought about before. Mostly, I’m jazzed that someone else was excited to talk heat. I also love to write for a variety of audiences. Whether it’s an OpEd about a pressing issue, or a Substack post about a hot take on heat, crafting an interesting narrative in print is such a huge part of storytelling.
