SUMMARY:Science on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Science On Tap is a monthly series of informal talks led by scientists that explore current research topics and the importance of science in our daily life. Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, March 18\, 2026 @ 7:00 pm. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \nSpeaker: Kelsey Jensen \nTitle: Measuring What Matters: Turning Soil Data into Climate Solutions \nTalk Description: “Climate-smart” and “regenerative agriculture” are everywhere right now—from USDA programs to labels at the local farmer’s market. But what do these buzzwords actually mean\, and are they living up to the hype? \n\n\nMeasuring the real impact of farming practices turns out to be surprisingly hard. The Soil Inventory Project\, a national nonprofit\, is tackling this challenge head-on—quantifying how practices like reducing tillage\, planting cover crops\, and applying fertilizer affect soil carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions. Come explore how researchers are cracking this problem by working with farmers\, food companies\, and everyone in between\, and what it could mean for building a food system that’s actually good for our climate. \n\n\nBio: Kelsey Jensen was COO for The Soil Inventory Project and a research scientist in the Covey Lab at Skidmore College. Her research background is in soil carbon sequestration and ecosystem ecology. She holds a Doctorate in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from Cornell University and BAs in Chemistry and Environmental Studies from Colgate University. She is currently a Climate Innovation Scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and continues to work closely with TSIP as an academic collaborator.
