Available Talks & Trainings

I run regular programs, give talks and facilitate workshops all over the world, and coach/consult with a wide range of people, institutions, and agencies. Contact me to discuss logistics, fees, and scheduling.

Topics & Formats

My talks & trainings span 3 foci: (1) institutional change & leadership, (2) creativity in science, and (3) evidence-based, inclusive science communication. The lists below provide examples of past talks & trainings I've been booked for. I can adapt a keynote theme into a hands-on workshop or vice versa.

Keynotes & Plenaries

As a keynote speaker, I challenge and inspire audiences to identify their unique skills and priorities, then leverage these insights to (a) effectively and inclusively share science and (b) change institutions and society for the better. My talks are high-energy, beautifully illustrated, and engagingly interactive while also being deeply rooted in the evidence base that informs both effective communication and genuine social change.
