Executive Producer, LSU My name is Josh and I’m a journalism junior at Louisiana State University. I'm an editor for the news section of LSU's student-run newspaper, the Reveille. I'm also a part of LSU's BridgeUSA chapter, an organization committed to fostering civil political discourse and debate between students from across the ideological spectrum on college campuses.

Climate change, and humanity's race to avoid its worst impacts, will be a defining story of the 21st century. I want to help people understand how a warmer world will affect them and their children over the next century, as well as how people are trying to solve the crisis.
