Writing

I’m a strong storyteller and enthusiastic communicator who writes pieces that make complex topics accessible and interesting to broad audiences.

Telling research and tech stories

A Breath of Fresh Air
Five Tufts students and alumni worked with fellow volunteers to develop a cost-effective ventilator that could be manufactured quickly and safely.

Timko Receives CAREER Award
Assistant Professor Brian Timko received an NSF CAREER Award for his bioelectronics-embedded hybrid brain tissues.

Novel Cache Management Framework
Researchers develop a new framework to produce contention-aware, lightweight repartitioning algorithms.

Patching Up Broken Hearts
Associate Professor Lauren Black and collaborators develop a novel tissue graft which could give new hope to pediatric heart patients.


Sharing student and alumni profiles

The Future of Quantum Computing
Richard Preston is doing his part to foster a quantum-capable workforce, including coming back to Tufts as a teacher this time.

Painting a Picture with Data
The medical community often uses visual aids to present complex probabilities. Alvitta Ottley studies how these visualizations help patients’ understanding.

Modeling Air Pollution
For her summer research project, Jenny Skerker asked a big question: How does pollution disperse as it exits Boston's Central Artery Tunnel?


Communicating complex collaborations

Global Tech and Play
Tufts experts collaborate on an initiative to support STEAM education capacity in Brazilian, Kenyan, and Rwandan schools.

Storytelling Through Data
A new cross-school initiative at Tufts aims to change how we teach data science in STEM and non-STEM disciplines alike.

Connecting Engineering and Literacy
The Novel Engineering program shows how teachers can introduce engineering concepts to children through reading fiction.
