Science Communication

I am president of Public Communications for Researchers, a CMU organization that teaches graduate researchers to communicate about science with non-experts. I lead Science Non-Fiction, a blog written by graduate students in Pittsburgh.

Working with the CMU Gelfand Center for Service Learning and Outreach, I developed an activity about my research on modular robotics for middle school students as part of the "road to research/meet the researcher" program. (March 2021)
