Climate expert at Hopkins
For those who want some hard-hitting science before their Monday night football, stop by Johns Hopkins University Sept. 24 at 5 p.m. to hear a distinguished atmospheric scientist explain the human causes and responses to climate change.
Ralph J. Cicerone, president of the National Academy of Sciences, led a 2001 study requested by President Bush of the then-current state of climate change and its impact on the environment and human health. His free public lecture, at Hodson Hall on the Homewood campus, comes the same week that President Bush hosts an international meeting in Washington on climate change.
For more information about the lecture, call 410-516-7136. For a thumbnail bio of Cicerone, go here.

I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
