Her work has been published in The Guardian, The New York Times, Slate Magazine, Nature Climate Change, Nature, Scientific American, Yale e360, FutureFood2050, and The New Security Beat.

Lisa is writing a book, Hot, Hungry Planet: Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Food Gap, to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2016.

In June 2015 she begins a research fellowship at the National Science Foundation-funded National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), where she will write about interdisciplinary science.

Palmer has received grants and fellowships for her work from institutions such as the Woodrow Wilson Center, SESYNC, Solutions Journalism Network, Vermont Law School, the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism at the University of Maryland, the University of Montana, and the Education Writers Association.
