Education and outreach have been an important part of my journey. Teaching at the University of Arkansas, making DNA necklaces with visitors at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and presenting to local school groups have been highlights of my time spent with people eager to learn. Engaging others in thinking about the common history of modern humans is one of my greatest passions. My time in museum settings has given me access to large general audiences, which I plan to take advantage of as I continue my graduate studies.
My career outreach goals are to increase science literacy, encourage participation in the fields of natural science, and to help all people become excited about learning. |
