Sherri Mason - 03.08.15

Dr. Sherri Mason, who goes by Sam, became obsessed with the impacts of 
humans on the environment when at the age of 11 she watched a very poignant 
Different Strokes episode in which Kimberly's hair turned green after 
washing it with acid rain. While not scientifically accurate, this episode 
made an impact and set Dr. Mason's path as an environmental chemist. She 
earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin before 
moving onto her Ph. D. from the University of Montana as a NASA Earth 
System Science Scholar. She is currently a full professor in Chemistry at
