Insect pollinator nutritional & behavioral ecology
Last semester, I had the absolute honor (and pleasure) of being one of Tufts Experimental College’s Robyn Gittleman Graduate Teaching Fellows. Now, the ExCollege is looking for help to continue funding graduate students through this amazing program. To learn more about the program, check out this blog post I wrote for Tufts Graduate Admissions last […]
All the way back in June, I had the opportunity to attend the 2017 Communicating Science National Workshop. As part of that conference, I participated in a Story Collider workshop (which was incredible). And now, I am honored to say that I told a story at a local Story Collider show and my story made […]
Back in June, I attended the National Communicating Science Conference (#ComSciCon) in Cambridge, MA and one of the many awesome people I met was Sadie Witkowski! Sadie is the host of a podcast, PhDrinking, where she interviews a scientist about their research over a drink. I had the pleasure of being one of Sadie’s interview-ees […]
This week, I am curating @Biotweeps! @Biotweeps is a twitter account that is taken over by a different biologist each week. If you’re on twitter, you can follow my week (starting yesterday!) at the handle @Biotweeps. I’ll be talking about a few of my favorite things: honey bees, pollinators, and science communication. If you’re not […]
As National Honey Bee Day (yes, it’s a thing!) approaches, check out a guest blog post I wrote for the Genetics of Taste Lab at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science! Read the full post here.
I celebrated National Pollinator Week by spending time with my honey bees (which I technically do every week), and honoring a pollinator a day on Twitter. While it’s great that we have a whole week that’s nationally recognized and set aside for pollinators, we should celebrate pollinators every day! Pollinators make crops possible, they add […]
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the 2017 Communicating Science National Workshop (a.k.a ComSciCon17)
When scientists give talks, we typically end the talk with an “Acknowledgements” slide, where we thank everyone who made that talk possible: co-authors, funders, field hands, etc. In March, I had the honor of giving a much different kind of talk: a TEDxTufts talk! Even though I was alone on stage, I couldn’t have pulled […]
Today is a big day: it’s Earth Day AND the March for Science! I won’t be marching today but I will be doing science outreach at the Discovery Museums in Acton, MA while sporting my #MarchForScience t-shirt. I will be with all my fellow scientists and science-supporters in spirit! Also, I had to pleasure of […]
I was featured on Faces of Fieldwork, a campaign to put a human face on scientific fieldwork. Being a scientist doesn’t mean you have to work in a lab. If you’re a field scientist, I encourage you to share your story with Faces of Fieldwork–let’s change the image of “scientist” from people in lab coats […]
