SPEAKING
I'll just say it: I love talking. And really I love talking about science - I strongly believe that good science communication is key to an informed public and good decision-making. Plus, making it fun is one of the most rewarding things I do as a researcher.
Every year I am fortunate enough to give several invited and keynote speeches, ranging from prestigious conferences such as IdeaCity to smaller engagements with groups like the Audubon Society. Accordingly, I cater my talks to my audience, so what you see and hear will be a unique experience. Topics often include penguins, Antarctic ecology, science communication, conservation challenges, and climate change.
Please contact me for information on topics I like to discuss, testimonials, and fees, or you can contact American Program Bureau. I'd love to talk to your group.
