Marcus Griswold
Broadly trained leader and interdisciplinary ecologist with demonstrated skills in translating science to policy and to diverse audiences through synthesis and workshops. I transitioned away from scientific research to meet the substantial gap between scientific information and usability for those striving to improve the protection of natural resources and disadvantaged communities - both of whom are often most affected by environmental policy, yet least heard by policymakers.
Using a results-oriented and balanced framework, I strive to develop and enhance connections between disparate disciplines, specifically bridging the gaps between science, policy, education, and communications. I have nearly 15 years of experience as a scientist and 6 years of experience in organizational development and strategic planning, bringing groups together to create new initiatives and strengthen existing programs.
