About Natalie Jacewicz

The day I turned 11, my father roused seven friends and me at 6 a.m. to come see “a natural phenomenon” in the back yard. We tripped out of our sleeping bags and raced outdoors, expecting a solar eclipse or incoming meteor. Instead, we found two dung beetles rolling a clump of golden retriever scat. We went back to sleep. Communication drives whether we celebrate a scientific discovery or wipe it off our shoes. Soon enough, nature’s rich stories drew me in. The evolutionary tale of Anolis lizards seduced me into a biology degree. My policy interests led me to management consulting in Washington D.C., where I learned how drug companies prioritize research and how NGOs select projects. Science and policy profoundly shape each other. I want to awaken readers to the intricacies of both.
