• Biography

  I am interested in increasing public understanding of science through education, outreach, and communication. My education interests focus on new course development and curriculum design for both in-person and online classes, with a focus on courses for introductory students and science teachers. In all of my education and outreach activities, I emphasize the importance of scientific communication and media awareness. From 2014-2017, I worked on the development and implementation CDC-funded XRAYS program, which helps patients understand new breast cancer research presented in the media. My work with XRAYS and other science communication efforts has underscored for me the need to train the next generation of scientists to communicate their work in a manner that is not only clear and understandable but also puts current research into the proper context.
