Communicating Science

The science that we conduct and the research that we do only matters if we have the ability to communicate not only what we did and found, but what that means to different groups. Beyond writing for scientific journals, I spend a lot of my time thinking about the most effective ways to communicate the work I do. Here are some select communications disseminating my work, either led by me, in collaboration with others, or through conversations with the press.
