在康奈尔大学攻读大气科学本科学位期间，格蕾琴·戈德曼选修了一门课程，这门课强调了公共政策与地球所有人健康之间的重要联系。这改变了她的人生轨迹。在为联邦政府从事政策工作后，她获得了环境工程博士学位。
While getting her undergraduate degree in atmospheric science at Cornell, Gretchen Goldman took a class that highlighted the vital connection between public policy and the health of everyone on Earth. It changed her life. After policy work for the federal government, she received a Ph.D. in environmental engineering.
如今，她担任关心科学家联盟（Union of Concerned Scientists）主席兼首席执行官。她是科学事业的有力倡导者。即使在联邦资金缩减的背景下，格蕾琴仍在努力保护研究工作，确保对气候变化巨大影响的关键调查能够继续进行。
Today, she leads the Union of Concerned Scientists as president and CEO. She is a powerful advocate for science. Even amid a federal funding retreat, Gretchen is fighting to protect research and ensure crucial investigations into the enormous effects of climate change can continue.
每一天，她都以坚定的决心对抗反科学的令人担忧的力量。正如格蕾琴所说：“如果科学和证据参与其中，政策结果会更好。”她每天都在为此而努力。奈伊是一位科学传播者。
Every day, she combats the troubling forces of anti-science with dogged determination. As Gretchen will tell you, “Policy outcomes are better if science and evidence are involved.”She works every day to make it so. Nye is a science communicator.
