publications and presentations

I enjoy public speaking and oral communication of scientific ideas. In addition to formal scientific presentations, I have given hundreds of lectures as a teacher and in other contexts.

Beyond academic writing, I enjoy the craft of creative and journalistic writing, although I don't get to make as much time for it as I would like.

See some of examples below, or
