Episode Notes:

Protecting American defense capabilities requires protecting U.S. space-based assets, and much of those space assets are grounded in the polar regions. China and Russia understand American dependency on this infrastructure and are actively working to exploit it. Rebecca Pincus joins Nicole for a wide-ranging conversation about her recent article on space security, the adversary threat, and the intersection of science and security in the Arctic and Antarctic region.
