Science Advice

Dr. Goldman currently serves on the Cornell University Advisory Council for the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

Dr. Goldman served on the expert panel advising the Public Health Rulemaking for the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) of the Department of Conservation.

In 2019, Dr. Goldman helped organize and host a key meeting of the Independent Particulate Matter Review Panel, a panel of air quality and health experts dismissed the previous year. As a result, the US Environmental Protection Agency received robust science advice on particulate matter—a pollutant that threatens public health across the nation and world.

For nine years, Dr. Goldman served on the Air and Climate Public Advisory Committee for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, including two years each of being chair and vice chair of the committee.

Dr. Goldman was an author on an UNESCO and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) panel on how the US science ecosystem compares to the UNESCO Recommendation on Science and Scientific Researchers.
