In 2022 I participated in the OMSI Science Communication Fellowship and developed a science demonstration on earthquakes, faults, and the resulting beautiful landscape in the Pacific Northwest, USA. My demonstration is interactive for all ages, and focuses specifically on earthquake geology and active faults in the Pacific Northwest.
Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB)
Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB), Bangalore, India - developed a museum “Carbon Flash” series (https://bengaluru.sciencegallery.com/carbon-flash), highlighting the different ways we might think about and use Carbon. The series was conceptualized by Fullbright-Nehru Scholar Dr. Jay Barber. I collaborated through a series of interviews and contributed background content on the use of carbon as a clock - to constrain the timing of pre-historic earthquakes in the field of paleoseismology. https://bengaluru.sciencegallery.com/carbon-flash/refining-the-view-of-the-past
