Communication, Education and Outreach

​Science communication and education
​
*University-level Teaching Dossier available- please email me for a copy
 

Effective communication of science is essential for public engagement and policy uptake. An important component of science communication is education of all ages, but particularly children and young adults whose understanding of the world and contemporary issues is more in flux.

​

Examples of my involvement in science communication and education include:

​

  • co-leading a group for Kingston Junior Field Naturalists

  • ​judging for local schools' annual science fair

  • ​participating in public outreach festival s, e.g. "Science Rendezvous"

  •  working as a Naturalist at the Kane County Forest Preserve District

  •  writing for the Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, Extinction volume

Community building

​

Community is important to me, and has been central to my involvement in various committees. These include:

​

  • founding and currently coordinating the BioGrad Women's Group at Queen's University
  • previously co-coordinating the social events for Biology graduate students at Queen's
  • implementing a weekly departmental tea/coffee hour that continues 3 years later
  •  creating an Arctic Photo Exhibition in coordination with Queen's first annual Arctic Day
