Ryan Meyer

Graduate Research Assistant

Ryan is a graduate student at ASU's School of Life Sciences and the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, and a Research Associate in the ASU Office for Sustainability Initiatives. He arrived in Arizona in the fall of 2005 after spending three years working as a Program Manager at the Earth Institute at Columbia University. Prior to that, he received his BA in Biology from Bowdoin College, where his focus was ecology and marine biology.

Ryan's most general interest is in how disciplines frame problems and determine what qualifies as valid knowledge or acceptable fact. His work at CSPO focuses on how conflicts among these differing perspectives influence deliberation and decision making, with particular focus on uncertainty in debates over climate policy and climate science policy.
