Be adventurous, be yourself, above all be out there!

It can be a scary world, the policy world. It can be a scary proposition to shift careers at any one time of your life, not knowing if you will succeed or actually make enough money to survive. It can be exciting, challenging, exhilarating! Hear the story of a long-time academic ecologist who turned all pre-conceived notions upside down and embarked on a completely new trajectory from ecologist to climate scientist by way of NGO-AAAS fellowship-NGO, with a new degree thrown in the middle. It’s a whole new world and a whole other story out there, but so much fun.
