I am 7th grade Science teacher trying to learn the best practices to share knowledge and wonder with my students.

I have a philsophical bent of mind and have been passsionate about worldly issues from a young age, and not just the environment. Growing up in the heart of New Delhi, India, I have been exposed to sights of poverty, homelessness, discrimination and suffering. I believe that the approach to make headway with these worldy issues should be radically different. By drawing on philsophy, I believe it is possible to make people re-interpret the predicament we're in and consequently we will chase after unique and new solutions to make the world a better place.

I am an empty nester newlywed who lives on family farmland. I am a former college athlete who loves to be outdoors. My family and friends are super important to me, and believe that spending time with others and having experiences is way more rewarding than material things. My hobbies are baking, learning to cook new italian dishes (for my italian husband) and mowing my four acres of grass. I have a 95 lb Doberman-poodle mix named Hudson and two adult children who I adore. I would rather vacation in the NC mountains (4+hours away) than the beach (1.5hrs away). 

I am a Policy Officer in sustainable agriculture for the RSPB in Northern Ireland, the UK's largest wildlife conservation charity! I spend my time working with farmers and policymakers, trying to ensure our agriculture sector is working for nature, people, and climate. I am also an organiser at the UK Youth Climate Coalition, where I co-ordinate the Systems Change Working Group. This fantastic youth-led organisation aims to empower young people to take positive action for climate justice, within this space, my focus is on national-level advocacy and the intersectionality of climate justice. I recently graduated with a Master’s in Sustainable Development from Queen’s University Belfast. I also enjoy rowing and sailing on Lough Neagh and playing the fiddle.

Desert Research Institue is Nevada’s non-profit research institute, founded in 1959 to empower experts to focus on science that matters. We work with communities across the state –and the world– to address their most pressing scientific questions, while building bridges between scientists and policymakers to enact positive change.

My name is Kingsley & I work full time at MIT in the cybersecurity field. However at a very young age I used to pretend that I collected samples from the river in Ellsworth Maine. I've always been intrigued by nature and how things achieved symbiosis.
