The Chaotic Path of a Climate Modeler

The Vatican Observatory Podcast

How does a young Indonesian boy from a half Muslim, half Christian family wind up as a Jesuit scientist-priest in Arizona, modeling the tropical climates of northern Mexico and Saudi Arabia, while celebrating Mass for Native Americans… and keeping his fellow Jesuits well fed with his cooking skills? Meet Fr. Christoforus Bayu Risanto! Dr. Bayu defended his doctorate in meteorology at the University of Arizona last fall, where he's now continuing his research as a postdoctoral fellow.
Guests:

• Fr. Christoforus Bayu Risanto SJ
• Br. Guy Consolmagno SJ, Director of Vatican Observatory, President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation.
