¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ

Eva Kellner recently completed her Bachelor of Arts and Science in Environment at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ. Inspired by her participation in ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s East Africa Field Study Semester, Eva’s undergraduate thesis was a comparative, qualitative study looking at perceptions of climate change among students at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and students at Tanzania’s Sokoine University of Agriculture.

Eva became interested in science communication after taking a science communication course in her third year at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ. This interest only grew while writing her thesis, as Eva developed a passion for combining traditional storytelling with empirical science. Eva joined ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Office of Science and Society (OSS) in May of 2025 with the intention of honing in her skills to turn complex scientific phenomena into narrative-driven stories. Her specific research interest concern climate resilience among those living in cities, specifically through the lens of urban green spaces, urban agriculture, and outdoor community spaces.

At ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, Eva was the co-president of the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Environment Student Society (MESS), a ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Open House Ambassador, and contributed to global health research as a ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Global Health Scholar. When she’s not writing, you may find Eva on the soccer field kicking a ball around with her friends, playing cards in the park, or exploring new food spots in Montreal!
