Marshall Shepherd on CBS' Face the Nation

Atheltic Association Professor Marshall Shepherd was a guest on CBS' Face the Nation yesterday. He not only represented UGA extraordinarily well, as usual, he also made a great deal of sense talking about weather and climate:

The blog Living in the Real World offered some thoughts and critiques on Shepherd's interview:

[Dr.] Shepherd makes navigating such interviews seem deceptively easy. The reality? The questions come fast, and they’re never quite what you expect. To have a useful and responsive answer for every subject that may come up and to maintain discipline requires preparation, and practice and experience in the interview setting. The stakes are high. The difference between performing this well on Face the Nation and doing well on a university-operated public broadcasting radio station is like the difference between the Olympics and a local- or statewide-competition.

Great job and our thanks, Dr. Shepherd. The standard for future American Meteorological Society presidents has been set very high.
