Abstract

Anna Paltseva, PhD, is an urban soil scientist committed to improving soil health in city environments through research and community collaboration. Her work in New York City and Lafayette, Louisiana, demonstrates the power of participatory science to address urban soil contamination and promote environmental justice. Now, at Purdue University, Anna aims to expand these efforts, using tools like her Urban Soil Guide and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer to empower communities, increase awareness, and build resilient urban soil practices. This Backstory emphasizes the need for accessible, community-driven approaches to manage soil contamination in diverse urban settings.

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
