Selected Projects
Here's a selection of some of my favorite science communication projects. I make content for all ages, using storytelling and humor to convey the science of our everyday lives.
​
Here's a full list of my SciShow writing credits, and a playlist of my SciShow Residency work.
​
I've partnered extensively with Galactic Polymath, FunSize Physics, and Jackson Wild. Visit their sites to learn more! I'm also the President and Co-Founder of WOW STEM, an online learning platform dedicated to 7-12th grade girls.
Hank Green Asks A Physicist Anything
To kick off my SciShow Residency, I sat down with Hank Green to answer some audience questions about phase transitions and soft matter physics!
How Science Says You Should Pack
Are you a chronic over-packer? Here are some Official Physics Tips for optimizing your carry-on! Also, I got to cite my own dissertation in this script. How cool is that??
The Doorway to the Underworld is Growing and We Can't Stop It
This is my first script for SciShow by Complexly! I dug into some geology topics to understand why this massive hole just keeps growing.
Engineering with Light: 2000 Years of Innovation
I co-wrote and hosted this video designed to support a lesson on photonics called Photon Engineers.
Trumpeters of the Rockies
The story of Trumpeter Swans' reintroduction to the Northern Rockies. Created from brief to premiere in just five days during the Jackson Wild Media Lab.
Soup, salad, or sandwich? Physics has the answer
My TEDx talk on the physics of phase transitions and what it means for your lunch. Delivered in October 2022 in Dayton, OH at the historic Victoria Theatre.
Electric Crystals
Exploring how crystal symmetry can power everyday life. A student-driven, lecture-free lesson, connected through a beautifully crafted comic and supporting videos. Created with Galactic Polymath and funded by FunSize Physics.
Nuclear Fusion in 5 Levels of Difficulty
How does nuclear fusion work? I got to sit down with MIT Professor Anne White to learn about her research on turbulent flows in nuclear fusion reactors!
