Lecture: Fear, Loathing, and Pyrogeography in the Berkeley Hills  @TheLookout1
Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In April of 2026 I gave a lecture about The Lookout's particular 'No-Bullshit' flavor of science communication, using the example topic, 'The Pyrogeography of Northern California' for the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. We also talked about local examples of the topic, with a discussion of new 'Zone Zero' landscaping-related wildfire regulations being implemented in the Berkeley Hills.

Travel and speaking expenses for this episode of The Lookout were sponsored by Fire Aside. Fire Aside provides solutions for communities adapting to wildfire including complete defensible space & home hardening software, wildfire resilience grant management, community fuel removal (chipperday), and post disaster assessment tools (community triage). fireaside.com
