Professional Bio

My past research has focused on analyzing the communication of scientific information through the news media, including the effects those reports have on audience attitudes as well as strategies both scientists and journalists can use to improve that communication. Currently I focus on aspects of communication in the workplace, with a particular interest in professional communication for scientists and current trends in employment interviewing.
