Sanderfoot, graduate researcher and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at the University of Washington School of Environmental & Forest Sciences.

Questions are welcome about community science, her research and how to get involved. Please register. You will be emailed a link no later than one hour before the program start time.
