Dr. Tracey Holloway is the 2017-2021 Gaylord Nelson Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, jointly appointed in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Department of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences. She serves as the Team Lead for the NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team, working on air quality management and public health. Tracey is a co-founder and the first President of the Earth Science Women’s Network “ESWN.” She was the first-ever recipient of the MIT C3E Award in Education and Mentoring, a Stanford University Leopold Leadership Fellow, and was awarded the 2018 UW-Madison Undergraduate Research Student Mentoring Award.
Tracey has two boys, an eleven-year-old dreamer full of stories and ideas, and a four month old who is just starting to show what his personality is! She’s been able to take up hobbies inspired by her children’s interest and things they all enjoy doing together, such as cooking, reading, going to museums. She wishes there were more than 24 hours a day to give to both her family and science, both of which are team sports.
