Dr. Jane Lubchenco is an eminent environmental scientist and marine ecologist who was formerly the Administrator of NOAA, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She is a Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University, and in&nbsp;2021 was loaned out to the White House to serve as Deputy Director for the Climate&nbsp;and the Environment under the Biden administration. She co-founded three organizations that train scientists to be better communicators and engage more effectively with the public, policy makers, media and industry: COMPASS, the Leopold Leadership Program (now the Earth Leadership Program), and Climate Central.&nbsp;She believes we can harness science and creativity and work with nature to achieve&nbsp;healthy and resilient oceans, productive landscapes, vibrant communities and people.This interview was done before Dr. Lubchenco gave a public talk at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon on April 16, 2025. We discuss a new narrative for thinking about the ocean - from “Too Big to Fail” to “Too Big to Fix” to “Too Central&nbsp;to Ignore." She also shares some reactions to the current administration in relation to NOAA.
