Science Communication
I am passionate about communicating science effectively and making research findings and perspectives accessible to people across backgrounds. Currently, in collaboration with Dave Nussbaum, I am the co-executive director of Psychgeist Media—a nonprofit helping researchers to share their research with the public in engaging and accurate ways. If you're interested in learning more about what we do—or in writing a piece of your own—we'd love to hear from you! I also write Psychgeist's newsletter, In the Psychgeist—a monthly round-up of pieces our team helps edit, pitch, and place, and a digest of science communication from across the web.
I am currently a Writing Fellow for the Facilitating Thought Leadership Project at the University of Chicago. In supporting science communication across these roles, I think critically about whose ideas tend to be represented in the public sphere, with a commitment to creating platforms for diverse scholarship and voices, especially those that are historically and currently underrepresented in the field.

I got started in science communication as an undergrad at Brown University, where I worked as a writer, and then editor, for the Science & Research section of the independent, student-run Brown Daily Herald. As a graduate student at Cornell, I worked as the department of psychology's Science Writer—a role in which I helped develop the department's newsletter.
