My whole career has been informed by multi-disciplinary work. I started out as a scientist before attending law school and all my pre-academia jobs merged science, policy, and economics, so it is the place I feel most comfortable. Science is only as effective as its ability to be implemented out in the world. This is particularly important when you are trying to motivate people to change their water use for the benefit of future generations. Law and policy can help or hurt that effort. My job on grants such as SatRAP is to evaluate the amazing scientific research through a policy lens to predict behavioral impacts and make recommendations for policy changes if some is needed.
