In this capacity, she leads the development of the School’s strategy in climate science, health, and sustainability; strengthens the climate science and health curriculum; and liaises with climate science leaders across the University.
Her talk, entitled “Translating Science to Policy: Lessons from Climate Change,” focused on lessons learned in translating science into policy, particularly during her time working with both local government and with the EPA.
