Bob Lacatena is a software developer with a lifelong interest in and love of science and teaching, a love that was instilled by his parents, both college professors.  He has a bachelor's degree in computer science from Northwestern University.  He began his study of climate as a true skeptic, taking the time to put in the effort to truly learn everything he could about the science before recognizing that it is something that will greatly affect the life, prosperity and happiness of his daughter, her peers, and even more so any grandchildren that may some day follow.  Today, as a volunteer, he contributes to Skeptical Science with his primary talent (his computer skills) but wishes he could find more time to write as well.
