I’m a science writer, producer and Webcast host for the Exploratorium. I’m also director of the Osher Fellowship program which allows the museum to bring leading scientists, artists and scholars in residence to share their expertise with our staff and the public. My academic background is in biology and science communication and one of my roles at the Exploratorium is to help introduce our audiences to research scientists and the ways in which they investigate and understand the natural world. In that capacity, I’ve been lucky to spend time with fascinating minds in some of the most interesting places in the world: Antarctica, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, NASA’s Goddard and Johnson Space Flight Centers, and the Exploratorium.
