Penikese Island School

I have been a Guest instructor at the Girls’ Nature + Science Camp since summer 2022. Katy Abbott, Margaret Gregory, and I co-teach a lesson about Buoyancy, Density, and Mixing. The goal of the camp is to “empower middle-school girls and gender-expansive youth in the sciences by providing them with role models of women in STEM, and to foster confidence in science, in nature, and in themselves”.

Woods Hole Science Stroll

Once a year, all major marine science and educational institutions in Woods Hole open their doors to the public to educate, engage, and showcase their science and work. I helped run the CTD booth this Summer 2023 where I talked to members of the general public about oceanography.
