01

You Don't Look Like a Scientist

Belonging, identity, and who gets to do science. The talk that became a movement — on widening the door to STEM without lowering the bar.

02

Communicating Science in a Distrustful World

How to earn trust, meet audiences where they are, and stay credible when the public is skeptical and the information landscape is noisy.

03

Science Meets Culture

Meeting people everywhere they already are, through storytelling, social media, and yes, sometimes hip-hop. Making science feel like it belongs to everyone.

04

Health & Science Literacy That Sticks

Evidence-based translation for patients and the public. Turning complex medicine and research into language people can actually use.

05

The Future of Science Communication

What scientists need to be heard, the infrastructure the field has never had, and where communication is headed. Drawn from building Fervae.

06

Finding Your Voice as a Scientist

For researchers and communicators growing a platform with integrity — building an authentic public presence that advances the science, not just the self.

Every talk is tailored to your audience — academic, corporate, federal, or community.
