Lover of novels, learning curves, platypuses, blue-footed boobies, and yellow-rumped warblers. Oh, and feline gremlins. And pebbling. I will always say "cow!" when I see a cow and "lizard!" when I see a lizard. I wouldn't want you to miss it.

I would love to take part in conversations on translating complex scientific topics for lay audiences. I've taught basic literacy, math, and science to adult learners for years. It's scary how many people turn to right wing sources for information when they can't find accessible alternatives.
