Ask Me Anything Featuring Richard Munson

Please join the University of California, Merced on Monday, 4/3 at 3 PM PT for an AMA with Richard Munson.

Biography: Richard Munson is the author of several books with the most recent being Tech to Table: 25 Innovators Reimagining Food (Island Press 2021). In this book, the reader is introduced to some of the most creative entrepreneurs advancing technological solutions to our industrialized food system. These entrepreneurs come from various places and professions, identities, and backgrounds. But they share an outsider’s perspective and an idealistic, sometimes aggressive, ambition to rethink the food system.

Munson’s other works include Tesla: Inventor of the Modern; a biography of Jacques Cousteau, the undersea explorer and filmmaker; a history of electricity; and a behind-the-scenes look at how congressional appropriators spend taxpayer money. Based near Chicago, he has worked on environmental and clean-energy issues at nonprofits, within universities, in the private sector, and on Capitol Hill.

This virtual event is free and open to the public.
