SCIENCE COMMUNICATION

Content curation
- Through my PhD training, I have refined my critical thinking skills and gained facility with translating jargon-heavy science into easy-to-understand information for a curious audience through podcasts commissioned by and published on University websites (http://weill.ucsf.edu/podcasts). See http://www.brcafoundation.org/podcasts or http://www.ctoradio.org for samples of work.
Leadership
- Experience leading teams to produce high-quality podcasts on a monthly basis featuring curated interviews of leading scientists (ctoradio.org). Other skills include organizing and motivating large groups, as well as training and encouraging individuals to realize their own creative potential.
Education
- Through the Science Education Partnership, I gained extensive teaching and communication skills. I developed engaging, age-appropriate science lesson plans for grades 2,4, and 7.
