Outreach


Scientists are inherently storytellers, and people want to listen to stories. This is a collection of some stories I've told. Please see my CV for a complete list.

Speaker at Astronomy on Tap D.C.
In December 2024, I was one of the speakers at the Astronomy on Tap D.C. event. I spoke about my cryovolcanism research and explained why cryovolcanism in general is such a weird process that planetary scientists don't fully understand. The room was packed with around 80 people. We had a fun night!

Invited speaker to the Arizona Museum of Natural History quarterly meeting on January 13, 2020. I gave a talk called "The Exciting Life of Water: How a Familiar Chemical Changed the Solar System ." It was the last in-person meeting before the COVID-19 pandemic.
