About Melanie Newfield
I love turning over stones
I’m curious about the world. I love looking under stones and finding the stories underneath today’s important issues.
I believe that the science behind important issues should be accessible to everyone
Climate change, conservation, water quality - there’s more to these issues than headlines and soundbites. I sift through the evidence and tell the story in plain language so that you can understand what you need to know.
