Research
neuroscientist
I have more than 20 years of experience at the bench, much of that trying to understand the role of the sensory nervous system in pain and disorders of the respiratory system.
scicomm and advocacy
communicator
I talk about my research, and science in general on social media, particularly via twitter, but I also help other scientists share their work and their scientific stories through a national science festival called taste of science, and a podcast called 2Scientists.
outreach nonprofit
director
Diverse scientists make for better science. Good scientific information helps us make better decisions as individuals and as a society. However, so much of science is inaccessible to those outside of the academic environment. In response to this, we set up Scientists Inc – a nonprofit dedicated to finding new ways to engage people with science. I am the CEO and working to create new science outreach projects.
