Science-literacy is the best way to help our communities address complex problems and make informed decisions, and its the job of educators and science professionals to reach out and cultivate an understanding and appreciation for science. I am an ardent advocate for science and astronomy outreach: to connect with audiences young and old about the wonders of space, as well as the importance of scientific scrutiny. Everyone connects with scientific ideas differently, and I’ve endeavored to create opportunities for engagement outside the university classroom. Be it hosting planetarium shows or side-walk star parties, or volunteering at Victoria’s Nerd Nite.<\/a><\/p>\n

I often give lectures and more kid-friendly astronomy activities to educational groups, if you’d like me to come and meet with your group feel free to contact<\/a> me. In the past I’ve spoken at the historic Theodor Jacobsen Observatory in Seattle, the University of Victoria, the University of Cambridge (A recording of which you can watch below, courtesy of the University of Cambridge Institute of Astronomy), the Royal BC Museum and more.<\/p>\n
