Ally Peccia, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, explores volcanic gases and their climate effects. Emphasizing art and science, she has collaborated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create a 'Field Guide' on volcanoes. Peccia’s ceramics practice also reflects volcanic themes. In a recent Q&A, she shares her broad scientific interests during her education, mentors like Terry Plank, and highlights the importance of addressing the 'leaky pipeline' faced by women in leadership roles within science fields.
"Science has always been about learning and discovery, not just a commitment to a single topic. I’ve engaged in various fields throughout my education."
"Terry Plank's enthusiastic teaching in 'How to Build a Habitable Planet' captivated me and inspired my continual journey in science."
