BIO

Mickey Rogers is a Linus Pauling Distinguished Postdoctoral Research Fellow at PNNL with the Terrestrial-Atmospheric Processes Integrated Research Platform in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory. Mickey studies biological aerosol, including how airborne algal fragments and cells become aerosolized in our atmosphere. Her work has awarded her many opportunities, including invitation to the Our Ocean Conference as 1 of 2 United States Youth Delegates, participation in Brookhaven National Laboratory’s distinguished ACCESS program for emerging atmospheric scientists, and recognition by Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, as a Future Leaders Top 100 in Chemistry. Mickey is also passionate about translating science into nontechnical language to engage with policymakers and the next generation of researchers.

ABSTRACT

With every spray of the ocean, tiny travelers embark on a journey of atmospheric importance. Airborne algal cells present compelling climate dynamics and human health effects that urge us to understand their global impact.
