ABSTRACT

I introduce risk analysis to students and public audiences in three steps over 10 to 15 minutes. First, I ask them to:

1. Close their eyes, and think of the first three human health and environmental hazards, risks, and events that concern, worry and scare them the most;

2. After a minute, I ask them to open their eyes and write these three items on a piece of paper or their computer; and

3. We discuss the items on their list.
