In August, our Engagement Director Angela Larck attended a climate conference at which she ran into today’s guest, Lexi Shultz, whom I used to know back in my days working on Capitol Hill. Angela reconnected me with Lexi, who currently serves as vice president of public affairs at AGU, a global community supporting more than half a million advocates and professionals in the Earth and space sciences.
Before joining American Geophysical Union, Lexi spent eight years at the Union of Concerned Scientists, where she was part of an effort to restore scientific integrity to the policymaking process and then worked on the climate and energy program, which is how I once knew and worked with her.
We had a delightful time reconnecting and talking about the importance of science. That conversation is ready for your ears!
