Sonali McDermid
Sonali McDermid recently finished her PhD at Columbia University and is now a climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies here in NYC. The natural sciences pique her deep interests while good food is near to her heart, and so she decided to combine these pursuits by trying to understand how climate change will impact agriculture and food security around the globe. Although she finds the "debate" about climate change stressful at times, she is heartened by all the great projects popping up world-wide that promote responsible, sustainable development. She believes that shopping and living your values can, in fact, be impactful, even on small scales. In her spare time, you may stumble upon her hiking upstate or perusing the produce at farmers markets in and around NYC.
