Outreach

I am very passionate about scientific education and outreach and always looking for ways to effectively communicate climate science to broader audiences.

Below are some photos from various recent outreach activities that I have been a part of.

Citizen Scientist

As a citizen and scientist, I am very interested in the role that scientists play in the policy-making sphere. I believe that it is a responsibility of scientists to engage with public officials and provide information about current research findings that might guide policy decisions.  In Fall 2017, I participated in a Geosciences Congressional Visit Day where I met with members of Congress and their staff to advocate for strong continued federal funding of geoscience research and educational programs.
