OutreachEngaging in public outreach through interactions with elementary or high school students, undergraduate students or interfacing with key stake holders interested in the outcomes of my research is a key focus of my ethos in being an engaged scientist.
I began my community engagement as a NSF GK-12 Fellow while a PhD student at the University of Colorado, and currently look forward to expanding my experiences in outreach to include dairy and pasture farmers and industry in south eastern Australia. For an up to date record highlighting my broader impacts please check out my CV! |
CollaborationAs a graduate student affiliated with the Long Term Ecological Research site network (LTER) I was fortunate to participate in a number of working groups, some of which are ongoing:
Ecological Effects of Climate Anomalies Organized by Amber Churchill, Laura Ladwig, and Zak Ratajczak This group initiated at the ASM fall 2015, and has organized an oral session for ESA 2016, in addition to working on a conceptual manuscript aimed a extending our framework for ecosystem consequences of extreme climate events into all seasons and diverse ecosystems. Our first collaborative paper is here. Winter Ecology Working Group (WEWoG) Organized by: Laura Ladwig, Zak Ratajczak, Katya Hafich, Troy Ocheltree This group formed at the All Scientist Meeting fall 2012, and organized two followup meetings after receiving an LTER Synthesis grant. Our paper "Beyond arctic and alpine: the influence of winter climate on temperate ecosystems" was published in Ecology in 2016 (https://doi.org/10.1890/15-0153.1).
