Undergraduate students in the University of Pittsburgh’s spring 2023 Environmental Law and Policy class published papers in the April issue of the Journal of Science Policy and Governance.
The class’ goal was for students to identify a science policy problem and create something new in recommending potential solutions. The teams of students in environmental studies, environmental science and other Pitt majors were published alongside graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and faculty from highly ranked science departments, medical schools and policy programs.
Yasmine Florent, Mackenzie Nemoto, Ana Rowley, Vanessa Pratt and recent graduate Maria Isabel Villegas (A&S ’24) wrote “Dangers of Oxybenzone in Sunscreens on Coral Reefs: Proposed Policy Approaches.” The second paper, “Mitigating the Invasive Method of Hydraulic Fracturing Through a Phase Out Policy Plan,” was written by Ashlynn Moretti, Madilyn Cianci, Mina Kimak and Savannah Johns (A&S ’23).
