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. Facing the challenge of stretching everyone's minds with concepts of modern physics and astronomy, I can draw from my own research. I try to use my knowledge as a science educator to engage, stimulate, and sustain interest in science outside of the classroom and the school context as well. It is very cool to help other people make sense of the world around us - and to contribute to making society a little smarter along the way.
