I really enjoy thinking about new ways of presenting old (and new) ideas, especially ways that make scientific phenomena more accessible and more experiental to a broad audience. 

Journalism

I college, I wrote for and then became co-editor-in-chief of the Bi-College News, Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges’ print newspaper. With this background in journalism, I got interested in science journalism. Here is an a post I wrote during grad school highlighting new work on how liquid droplets move across solid surfaces.

Music

Science is often presented very visually, with plots and charts. But there are also ways making science sound-based. In spring of 2024 I finished a short set of three character pieces for solo piano. Each piece represents a different soft matter phenomenon or experiment. Recordings, from a performance by pianist and mathematician Josh Mundinger, are below. I am interested in continuing to work on both vague connections as part of art-science work and also more precise mappings between data and sound.
