ABOUT MARTY DOWNS
Marty Downs directs the Long Term Ecological Research Network Office, based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara. She manages internal and external communications for a network of over environmental scientists and 27 diverse research sites. Marty began her career as an ecosystem ecologist studying nitrogen and carbon cycling in northeastern U.S. forests, Alaskan tundra, and polar Sweden at the Ecosystem Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory. While teaching a group of science journalism fellows the reality of hands-on science, she caught the science communication bug. Marty earned a master\'s in science journalism and launched a career in freelance science writing and, later, institutional communications. For the past decade, her work has involved using science communication to accelerate collaboration and interdisciplinary synthesis.M.S. Science Journalism, Boston UniversityB.S.
