Experiences and observations from my journey from academia to EPA.

There are two parts to this presentation. The first part is an overview of my research experiences over the past 10 years in the National Center for Environmental Assessment, covering subjects like atmospheric deposition, environmental change, and biofuels. The second part is a summary of my thoughts on how academia can increase the utility and impact of their work, how to prepare the scientists of the future, and career paths outside of academia.

Impact/Purpose

This is an invited presentation at the University of Minnesota about research at EPA, career paths for scientists in government, and recommendations for developing policy-ready science.
