Ok who knew that catching the air and cleaning it so you can release it back out into the wild was a thing? Not my black ass. But you know who did?!...Dr. Evvan Morton, Ph.D. sure tf did! Evvan Morton recently obtained her PhD in Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). She also received a certificate in Responsible Innovation in Science, Engineering and Society. Evvan received her Bachelor's degree in Materials Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and her Master's degree in Sustainable Engineering from ASU. She was a National Science Foundation IGERT-SUN Fellow and ASU’s 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. Student Servant-Leadership Awardee. She is also the co-founder and Vice President of BioGals, a non-profit organization empowering women of color in STEM through study abroad experiences. Evvan’s research examines the effectiveness of US policies that govern carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations to mitigate climate change and explores what new policies are needed to promote carbon dioxide removal. Motivated to bridge the gap between science and decision-making, she looks forward to a career in science policy to develop innovative policies for transitioning to a sustainable energy future.
