Madeleine is an MS candidate in the Sustainability Science Program at Columbia University in New York. She completed her undergraduate studies at Humboldt State University in Northern California in oceanography, analytical chemistry, and scientific diving. Her current research focuses on microplastics in the Hudson River estuary and the effects of urban microplastic inputs to waterway health, community outreach programs and whatever "sustainability" means.

Salix Bair

Salix is a recent graduate of Humboldt State University and is currently just trying to figure her sh*t out. She graduated with bachelor's degrees in Physics and Applied Math. Her academic area of interest is material science and more specifically the way materials are affected when introduced to extreme environments.

She lives in Arcata, CA and when not in the midst of an existential crisis can most often be found outside hiking or hitting the trails on her trusty mountain bike.
