About the guest:
Sandra Steingraber holds a PhD in biology with a master's degree in poetry. She has written a trilogy of award-winning books on environmental health. One of them, Living Downstream, was adopted as a documentary in 2010. As a co-founder of New Yorkers Against Fracking and Concerned Health Professionals in New York, she has helped lead a science-informed grassroots movement based on the story of how New York's fracking ban was won and Sandra's role in that fight is set in the Documentary film Unfractured from 2018 told. Affected health professionals in New York have provided peer-reviewed science on the risks and harms of fracking to frontline communities, journalists, policymakers and elected officials around the world.

Dr. Steingraber is one of the lead authors and editors of this report, which is now in its seventh edition. For her environmental research and writing, Dr. Stone digger received the Rachel Carson Leadership Award from Alma Mater Chatham College in Carson. a Heinz Award from the Heinz Family Foundation; and the American Ethical Union's Elliot-Black Award for protecting our planet through science and witnessing civil disobedience.
