Recent media and outreach activities

I believe in the saying that "science not communicated is science not done." In addition to presentations at scientific conferences, I am committed to sharing my research findings with non-scientific audiences. Moreover, I have taken opportunities to communicate broader climate science topics to stakeholders and to the general public. Below, I summarize some of these efforts.
