Jack Normandin
Jack Normandin is an asexual man with an interest in geosciences and environmental, political, and social justice. Having been involved with Earth and environmental science research, I have firsthand experience with the difficulty of relaying critical scientific problems, namely climate change and environmental plastic pollution, that my research explores. I noticed that the same communication issues are rampant in present-day politics, particularly surrounding marginalized communities. As such, I am deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity, and representation for fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals and other marginalized groups in both science and society.
