Our Places (Museum exhibit)

I was recently part of a team that helped design a new exhibit called "Our Places". This installation celebrates the connections we have with nature and the outdoors. I am lucky to be featured in the first iteration of the exhibit. As a kid who grew up in a big city, I describe my experiences with urban wildlife and how they shaped my career as an ecologist.

Podcast
Our research on acorn woodpeckers was recently featured on the popular podcast Quirks and Quarks by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation!! It was wonderful chatting with Bob McDonald. Have a listen here.

We were also covered by the Scientific American 60-second Science Podcast for our acorn woodpecker research!

Storytelling

I recently told a story about my experiences with speaking English as an immigrant in the US. I told this story at the North American Ornithological Conference 2020 storytelling event. Here's a recording.

#Naturenerding101, #SpeakBird

I co-designed the bird related outreach material for the #NatureNerding101 campaign for the Smithsonian. I also designed the #SpeakBird campaign. In it's first week. #NatureNerding101 had logged over 700,000 interactions with the public over Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook

Live Science Webinars

I have done live webinars on eco-physiology and behavior of birds for the Smithsonian Science Webcast series. They are an amazing way to reach hundreds of students around the world and awesome team helps you mould your content to Next Generation Teaching standards!

Webcast: Smithsonian Science How

I did a live science webcast for elementary school students. It was viewed by over 2800 students across the United States. What an honor to reach to so many young scientists!
