Adam began teaching 15 years ago during a fellowship to India, and in the last decade has taught at Columbia University, New York University and CUNY. He’s a long-time specialist in environmental news and currently runs two climate change-related news services, as a well as a digital weekly news magazine for environmental reporters.
