Susan Schneider holds degrees in environmental and mechanical engineering (MS, Brown University), and once led an energy efficiency project for US Steel's Corporate Research Center.  After a stint in the Peace Corps, she obtained a PhD in behavior analysis (University of Kansas).  Her numerous scientific articles cover topics like choice, generalization, and nature-nurture relations. Schneider's trade book, The Science of Consequences, encompasses the full range of behavior analysis, including applications to sustainability. The book received coverage in Nature, led to a three-year international book tour, and won the 2015 Mass Media Award from the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis. An environmental activist throughout her life, Schneider coauthored two chapters in the upcoming book, A Practitioner's Guide to Creating Successful Environmental Behavior Change, has given numerous climate change talks and workshops, and co-founded her local Climate Action Coalition.
