Science communication
and outreach
Teaching philosophy
As an ecologist, I know that a healthy and thriving ecosystem relies on its diversity. I apply this concept to my mentoring, teaching, and science communication. While each person has their own set of identities (cultural, racial, socio-economic, gender, etc...), I attempt to unite the classroom/audience by encouraging diversity to get multiple perspectives of the topic.
Infographics
I am to reach a broad audience through imagery and design. I believe infographics are a useful tool to effectively communicate science using simple terminology and graphics. Below are some examples of infographics I have created.
Videos
Videos are a great way to reach a large audience. Videos and other digital media can easily be shared online. Below are some examples of videos I have been interviewed in or created myself.
News articles
Sometimes scientific research, even when published, can have a pretty small audience, only reaching a specific niche of readers. That is why news articles and other forms of media are important to communicate the science to a large range of viewers. Below are some articles I was interviewed for, or helped write.
Podcasts
I have been interviewed on the Women in Science podcast to talk about my research on the negative impacts of turtle clutch relocation and other turtle-y fun topics. Click here to listen
Social media
Science communication using social media is becoming ever more important for researchers. I enjoy making educational posts on my personal Instagram, as well as creating posts for educational accounts. I have also created an Instagram account for my Red Sea photo-identification project.
I also use social media (twitter and instagram) to promote my recent publications to the general public. I think it is crucial to communicate science outside of the scientific bubble
