As if pregnancy wasn't hard enough, there's climate change to contend with. The heat impacts on maternal health are severe.
Simon Clark
My name is Simon and I make videos to improve your climate literacy. In particular I focus on the physical Earth system, and how the atmosphere, climate, and climate change intersects with our lives. Sometimes I even try to be funny. Since completing my PhD in atmospheric physics at the University of Exeter, this has been my full time job. I also stream on Twitch, host the How To Make A Science Video podcast, and wrote a book!
