Today I chat to Paola Garcia, who currently works in a boundary institution at UNAM, Mexico. After her PhD at the University of Plymouth, UK, she returned to Mexico to work in the department for the sustainability department of the Mexican government. After a while she started missing the rigour of academia, and now she's working on two projects trying to shape policy based on research data. To find out how she's trying to measure impact of sustainability projects and how she is trying to make Mexico City a safer city to cycle in, check out her research on https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paola_Garcia_Meneses and https://lancis.ecologia.unam.mx/personal/paola_garcia?fbclid=IwAR1kmFeryeuP2E7GK2GfIJ1V9LLU3QsizX4MTGd97-oYcYF8AQikJk7qC4w.
