Shownotes

This week, Joyce speaks with Dr. Kate Voss. Kate was the 2019–2020 Congressional Science Fellow with the American Geophysical Union, where she worked in senator Tom Udall's office. Kate's background bridges geochemistry and the policy world. We discuss her experience and a science–policy fellow, some of her work as a hydrologist and geochemist, the sometimes extractive nature of geoscience research and how to better conduct research, and ways to better engage communities when doing field-based research.
