Show Notes

More robustness than resilience, but worth repeating that you should always check your earthquake go-bag: https://www.earthquakeauthority.com/blog/2019/how-to-make-an-earthquake-emergency-kit

Clint did ASA 103: https://americansailing.com/learn-to-sail/certifications/asa-103-coastal-cruising/

Since this is a science podcast, there is a scientific reason people get emotional on airplanes: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/why-do-we-always-cry-on-planes

52 Hertz Whale documentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loneliest_Whale:_The_Search_for_52

And Leslie Jamison wrote 52 Blue as a chapter in one of her essay collections (you can read it excerpted here: https://slate.com/technology/2014/08/52-blue-the-loneliest-whale-in-the-world.html )

Colette was wrong, Jamison referenced a famous Kathryn Schulz piece in one of her own essays, which was the source of confusion - The Big One: ​​https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one about a cataclysmic earthquake on the west coast. 

In case you’re curious, Colette uses scholar.google.com and paperpile.com shamelessly live.

We reference A Tale of Two Stories: Contrasting View of Patient Safety by Richard Cook and Dave Woods: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/245102691_A_Tale_of_Two_Stories_Contrasting_Views_of_Patient_Safety?enrichId=rgreq-a699511fb5bc518bf1584a0a6613d8d0-XXX&enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzI0NTEwMjY5MTtBUzoyMDYyMjM2NjExMTMzNDdAMTQyNjE3ODk2MDQ4NA%3D%3D&el=1_x_2&_esc=publicationCoverPdf
