  • So darn good!!!

    The UConn 360 podcast is indeed the best UConn podcast in the known universe, hands down.

Add to that the understated wit of host Tom Breen, Ms. Julie Bartucca’s infectious laugh, and the storytelling skills... more

We also discussed using AI to assist with workflow and multi-channel storytelling while emphasizing rigorous truth-telling and fairness.

Q: Could you share a memorable storm or moment where EDEN made a difference?
Two-part: the 2012-2013 Sandy incident, which highlighted the importance of coordinated distribution of resources, and last year's flooding that devastated fruit and vegetable farms in the central part of the state, which underscored the need for sector-specific preparedness.
