I was featured in the @pomonacollege.bsky.social magazine on how my theater experience influences my approach to scicomm/education (and vice versa). I couldn't do what I do without my interdisciplinary education and liberal arts college thinking skills! magazine.pomona.edu/2026/summer/...

Science Matters. 🔬 For 80 years, science has been a north star for the U.S. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government investment in research transforming our health, economy, quality of life. Science is not zero-sum—it creates value and better lives.
