Co-Founders

  Emma Scales

Emma is a biologist studying fungal-bacterial symbioses. She is currently working on completing her Ph.D. at Cornell University. Beyond research, she has been engaged in science advocacy, helping create the Scientist Network for Advancing Policy (SNAP), a nationwide coalition of early career researchers pushing for change, both within the scientific community and its relationships with lawmakers and the broader public, to make science more accessible and useful. In her "free" time, she moonlights as an oil painter, fly fisher, and cat mom.
