Plastics Learning Lab
July 2026
I worked with my colleagues at The Climate Initiative to co-create their most recent 6-week online education module, the Plastics Pollution Learning Lab. These learning labs have been downloaded in 51 countries and used by over 800,000 students so far. I wrote the foreword to this Learning Lab, which highlights how the curriculum touches on the holistic problem of plastics - from an ecological, economic, and sociocultural perspective.
GIS for Science
November 2021
While at AOS, we were asked to coauthor a chapter in esri’s book GIS for Science Volume 3: Maps for Saving the Planet. I was in charge of the chapter’s layout and flow, as well as final edits. Our chapter highlights AOS’s work on underwater acoustics and how it can be used for everything from defense to conservation. It was an honor to write a book alongside Dawn Wright, one of my personal heroes, and have a foreword by E.O. Wilson, only months before he passed.
Minno
Spring-Summer 2020
I partnered with the Christian children’s media company Minno to write a five part blog series on Creation Care and climate change, and how to care for the earth as a Christian today. These blogs were especially close to my heart, as there is often a perceived false dichotomy between the worlds of science and faith. The blogs were also turned into a downloadable Life Guide for parents to use to teach their kids.
I first wrote this article for MAJR Magazine, a startup online magazine started by undergrads, for undergrads, to explore future career paths. They then helped me republish it on Huffington Post.

My PhD lab was part of the NSF LTER (Long-Term Ecological Research) Network. The grad students at our LTER site helped start a grad-student run blog among all the LTER sites across America. It is called SSALTER - Short Stories About Long Term Research. This post appeared on that blog, describing life at sea.
In addition to this blog, I created and maintained the official twitter accounts for both our LTER site and two student cruises I sailed on, so the public could follow along with our science.
