Angie is an environmental educator, plant ecophysiologist, and science communicator, who is
known as "The Shotgun Scientist" for her work on studying how trees respond to climate change.
More specifically, she has examined how temperature affects the physiology (photosynthesis and respiration) of trees in Northeastern US forests in order to understand which species may tolerate a warming climate and how that may impact the carbon dynamics that cycle through temperate forests. Angie received her bachelor’s in natural resources from Cornell University and her masters of arts, masters of philosophy, and doctorate degrees from Columbia University in plant ecophysiology. She is a strong advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the environmental sciences and has served as a speaker at several US universities, environmental organizations, and K-12 institutions. Her research and science communication efforts have been profiled in publications such as The Guardian, The Forestry Source, Cell Press, and the National Environmental Education Foundation.
