Making science accessible to everyone is a huge priority—otherwise, what's the point in doing research? I enjoy sharing my work through as many creative outlets as I can, and my goal is to reach a broad, diverse audience of people from all ages and backgrounds. Below are a handful of the outreach initiatives I have underway, or am plugged into:

​I wrote an article with Current Conservation on owl banding and the value of banding stations! Amazing artwork by Aindri Chakraborty.

Join me for a trip back to the Azores to read about seabirds in the Atlantic! I wrote a guest blog with "Dispatches From the Field" about my work with storm-petrels and shearwaters.

I've been collaborating with Loes Roes, an incredibly talented science illustrator, to create a hummingbird infographic series! Check out her awesome B&B in Panama - where you can see tons of hummers!

MUSEUM OUTREACH

I've been working with museums since I was a first-year undergrad: first at the Oakes Museum and now at the Burke Museum. Museums are incredible educational powerhouses that let us foster connections between people and wildlife—sometimes local animals, sometimes ones that we'd never get to see otherwise! I've given many museum talks and been involved in museum social media, events, and behind-the-scenes collection tours—I've even designed some museum displays.
