Communicating Science
I communicate science in many ways, including public speaking, hosting, moderating, storytelling, and even a one-woman show in collaboration with a theatre director.

I am a Senior Producer for The Story Collider, a nonprofit show and weekly podcast that helps people of all walks of life -- from scientists and doctors to journalists and comedians to artists, firefighters, and bartenders -- tell stories about how science has affected their lives. I produce and host live and virtual shows.
I am a regular speaker and performer for both scientific and non-scientific audiences, with a wide range from formal talks on neuroscience and science communication to entertaining events in collaboration with comedians, theatre professionals and musicians.

Science communication talks
I speak about science communication to audiences from high school students to neuroscience researchers, including BioBus, Pennsylvania State University, AAAS, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Toronto Area Memory Group Conference, Yale University, and Columbia University.
Most recently, I taught some interactive workshops on Public Engagement with Science to graduate students at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Public events
I speak at public events for a diverse range of audiences, including Nerd Nite, A Taste of Science, Arts & Minds, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, Caveat and The Story Collider.
My most recent event was moderating a panel discussion about quantum mechanics and the unknown with theoretical physicist Olivier Gingras and theoretical physicist and science communicator Jim Al-Khalili, for the Simons Foundation Presents series.
Neuroscience talks
I speak on topics from Neuroscience 101 and Psychology to my research on episodic memory to academic audiences around the world, including Columbia University, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Bordeaux University, Boston University, The Nathan Kline Institute, Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epinière, INSERM, Lyon and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
My most recent venture was recording a pilot of a Neuroscience 101 course for the online learning platform Wondrium.
