   Alycia Ashurn is a graduate student in the Land Resources Program of the Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her bachelor's degree in biology from Luther College in May 1999 and is currently doing research on the effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone on insect biodiversity at the Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) facility near Rhinelander, Wisconsin. She is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society, the Ausable Graduate Fellowship, and in 1998 was awarded a Morris K. Udall Scholarship in Environmental Public Policy. Alycia is interested in the multi-dimensional nature of today's environmental challenges and is using the interdisciplinary degree program at UW to further her understanding of the public and scientific perceptions of climate change. Her goal is to continue working at the interface of these two communities to help promote clear and effective communication necessary for difficult environmental decisions ahead. In her free time she enjoys hiking, traveling, and track-and-field.
