Outreach, Mentorship, and Science Communication

I have been working to bring my research to school groups and the wider public. I have organized several outreach activities and mentored graduate, undergraduate, and high school students, along with educators. Please reach out if you would be interested in working with me. 

Exhibitor at the 2018 Science Fest.

Science Fest is an annual public and free festival of the scientific research at Indiana University. Demonstrations included an introduction to soil, the role of soil in mediating climate change, the role of soil in filtering and delivering clean water, and how light interacts with different gases.

Leading a field course with the Southern Sierra CZO. 

This day we dug soil pits and taught undergrads how to characterize soil in the field.

Translating cutting edge soil research into curriculum for the K-12 classroom- focus on the impacts of forest fire on soil processes

After a day leading a workshop about applying general chemistry principles to soil, we took high school teachers on a field trip to the Gondola Fire in South Lake Tahoe, NV to practice in the field.
