When research doesn’t reach policymakers, opportunities to improve lives can be lost. Eve Granatosky, Ph.D. ’18, is helping change that. A biochemist turned policy professional at Lewis-Burke Associates, Eve helps researchers share the impact of their work with decision-makers in DC.

Austin Matheny-Kawesch ’18 builds bridges in climate policy at the @envdefensefund.bsky.social by focusing on finding common ground. The values that drew him to @notredame.bsky.social–compassion, dignity, and respect–continue to guide his work in environmental advocacy. ☘️
