Dr. Elizabeth Stulberg first became interested in plant biology during a three-day “Plants at a Glance” workshop in high school. It was also around that time that she began nurturing a love of food, a passion that began with cooking and blossomed into a serious study of plant genetics and agriculture in a PhD program in Molecular Biology at Yale University. But it was early on at Yale when Elizabeth realized that it was science policy, and not academic research, that was her calling. Upon completion of her degree, she won an AAAS Congressional Fellowship that immersed her in the world of science policy. After additional fellowships that took her to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Obama Administration and then to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Elizabeth spent five years serving the Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Societies of America as a Science Policy Manager. Now Elizabeth advises clients in the in the areas of food, agriculture, and life sciences policy as a Principal at Lewis-Burke Associates in Washington, DC.
