Casey Ivanovich, influenced by a high school chemistry teacher, has developed a passion for Earth science and mathematics. After completing her Ph.D. at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, she is now a postdoctoral fellow at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, focusing on climate extremes and their societal impacts. Ivanovich emphasizes the importance of mentoring women scientists and advocates for significant changes in academic structures to promote equity and support for female researchers. Her journey reflects a deep commitment to both environmental science and the empowerment of women in academia.
"...my teacher Mrs. Altfater paused mid-equation at the board, turned around and reflected on her feeling of awe that we created math to describe the world around us..."
"The greatest way we can support women scientists is through advocating for concrete and material changes to existing academic structures. This includes improving parental support policies, ensuring pay equity and enforcing effective anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies."
