Encyclopedia of Puget Sound climate change topic editor Amy Snover has been honored as a White House Champion of Change for her work in climate change education and literacy. Snover is the Director of the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group and is Assistant Dean for Applied Research in the University of Washington’s College of the Environment. “Magic happens when we connect the analytic and predictive skills of science with the practical needs and multiple objectives of real-world decision-making,” Snover said in an announcement last week. “We create knowledge that is useful and used, and build essential societal capacity for tackling the challenges that face us.” Snover received her award at a White House ceremony on February 9th.
