The Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University interviewed me about my research and public outreach, and how the NOAA scholarship will help me continue doing this work.

The Drexel ExCITe Center awarded a $5000 seed fund toward a project to develop an accessible audio based tour of the Lower Schuylkill River. This project is a collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania and Bartram’s Garden as well as Drexel University to bring together historical and scientific information into a single database.

I was one of the first students at Drexel, alongside Nick Barber, to receive the NOAA Hollings Scholarship. This award will support my research and education in environmental science.

In response to Carl Zimmer’s comments to STAT News that science fairs were flawed and an exercise in privilege, I wrote about my experience with these fairs growing up.

I am one of four Drexel nominees for the 2016 Udall Scholarship.

The Society for Science and the Public is the organization that supports and organizes many of the science fairs I participated in as a high school student. These programs were my first experience doing research and presenting results. Recently, they checked in with me about my work at Drexel and how I am continuing to engage with the public through my research.
