Don “Dr. Doom” Conway-Long

“In this broken world, it is difficult to keep one’s head and chin up, no? In my courses, some students even call me Dr. Doom because of all the social, political, cultural and environmental problems I raise. So it is great to have a regular dose of Environmental Early Warning (that’s EEW, for you not paying attention) that manages to maintain good humor. That’s my GRIST.”
