Spencer R. Scott

Spencer R. Scott is a biologist and environmental writer focused on creating a more ecologically-minded future. He earned his B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley and PhD in Bioengineering from UC San Diego. Once a research director at a cancer immunology startup, he switched careers to climate activism in 2019 when he realized the magnitude of the problem and how he might help as an educator. He served as Paul Hawken’s Research Director on Regeneration, a book outlining the many regenerative solutions to climate change, and soon thereafter, joined the internationally recognized climate non-profit One Earth. At One Earth, he helps identify critical yet underfunded science-based climate solutions across renewable energy, nature conservation, and regenerative agriculture. In 2020, he and his husband co-founded a regenerative farm and climate education center, Solar Punk Farms, committed to demonstrating and spreading regenerative values.
