Popular Press + Teaching Modules
As scientists we have a responsibility to ensure that we make our work accessible to the public so that all can appreciate its value and make use of our findings. Below are some examples of coverage of my work in the media and teaching modules I have created to help share our research.
Two of the teaching modules linked at right (Climate Reconstruction from the Sedimentary Record and Ocean Carbon Storage and Acidification) were developed in association with Ms. Linnea Manley at Middlebury Union High School with initial help from Middlebury undergraduate Sam Messina.
While on sabbatical at CU Boulder I also contributed to Girls at the Museum Exploring Science (GAMES), a program started by collaborators at the Museum of Natural History and supported by our NSF Biomarker grant. To learn more about that project please see their website here.

Popular Science
In September of 2014, I joined concerned citizens and other scientists from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University at the March for Science. In addition to our conversations with other marchers we were also fortunate to be interviewed by a reporter from Popular Science about our reasons for participating.
