📖 Science Through Storytelling: Publications & Presentations
Science is a narrative of discovery, identity, and inquiry. My work in science education, equity in STEM, and science communication explores how people understand, engage with, and tell the story of science.
Below, you'll find a selected collection of my peer-reviewed research and conference talks where I use storytelling to explore science and education.
