Science Communication & Outreach

At heart, science is the quest for awesome.

The literal awe that you feel when you understand

something profound for the first time.

- Sean Carroll

Science communication and outreach play a major role in the work I love to do. I try to use my knowledge as a science educator to engage, stimulate, and sustain interest in science. It is very cool to help other people make sense of the world around us - and to make our society a little smarter along the way 🚀
