As a scientist a goal has been to make my work accessible with an enduring commitment to a wide range of science communication and community activities. Along with various speaking engagements, you can read my graduate work in collaboration with a local nonprofit: Paul Bump on Researching Acorn Worms in Morro Bay: The Unknown Lives of the Small and Squish and my postdoctoral work in collaboration with undergraduate research Eliza Hirsch: A Day in the Life of a Hofstenia Lab. I have served as a Wonderfest Science Envoy and the Harvard Science Education Partner at the Museum of Natural History.
Outside of the academic world, my primary outreach activities have been facilitated through the National Geographic Society. I always welcome the opportunity to share the mysteries and beauty of the some of the lesser-known animals that call this planet home.
