This week’s discussion is with McArthur Grant-winning seismologist Brian Tucker ’67, who recently retired as founder and president of the nonprofit GeoHazards International.  In this conversation, Tucker looks back at his wandering educational path into the science of seismology and his long career dedicated to helping people in poor, earthquake-prone countries retrofit their schools and other buildings to prevent their catastrophic collapse in the event of a quake.
