On this week's episode we're heading to Due South for a taste of Southern Hospitality and I am joined by Adria Peterkin and Alexa White. Adria is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who maintains a multidisciplinary vision for research. She is a passionate advocate for the Just Transition and intends to use her formal training to actively inform and resolve issues of environmental injustice that impact local communities. Alexa is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan whose research focuses on biophysical indicators of sustainable agriculture and international climate governance. She works on environmental justice and sustainable development issues across the science and technology policy landscape. Together they co-founded the AYA Research Institute, a science based organization that conducts environmental justice public policy research to fill the current gaps in our knowledge and address past, present, and future environmental atrocities. AYA prioritizes using community-driven data and rigorous impact analysis.
