Praying for Our Planet
Seven scientists talk about their science, their faith
and the climate and ecological emergency
Speakers were chosen to represent a range of different scientific backgrounds and stages in their careers. They gave an overview of their area of expertise and then talked about how their understanding of science affects what they pray for and how they express those prayers.
