The White House Women’s Leadership Summit on Climate and Energy today is recognizing a select group of women experts from the public, private, academic and philanthropic sectors who are working to address climate change. Three Argonne researchers – Robin Graham, Leah Guzowski and Ann Schlenker – are part of this select group.
