NASA chief scientist Dr. Kate Calvin is helping the agency fight climate change as it seeks to return astronauts to the moon. Here’s how she gets it done.
Dr. Kate Calvin always imagined NASA to be the type of place where people get together to solve big problems. “It seemed so cool to me” as a kid, she says. “Now that I’m a part of it,” she realizes, “it’s even better.” She got her Ph.D. from Stanford University and was an earth scientist at the Joint Global Change Research Institute, where sheinteractions between land, energy, water, and climate before landing at NASA as chief scientist and senior climate adviser.
I also have a great set of friends and family I rely on pretty heavily. I have a bunch of female friends who work on climate and the environment and live in the D.C. area. It’s great to share stories with them after a long day.I make sure I get outside every day. At different points in my life, that has meant running or biking. Even if the weather isn’t great, I’ll go for these long, meandering walks through D.C.
Someone once told me that science is hope, and I’m really focused on that. There are a lot of scientists at NASA and around the world who are researching climate. We understand our planet better than we have before and continue to learn about it every day. So I focus on the hope that science brings and the people who do that science and use it.Fifteen years ago, I was really focused on doing research.
