CENTER FOR OLDEST ICE EXPLORATION (COLDEX)
For nearly three years, I contributed communication expertise to a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center called the Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX), a 17-institution, $25 million research collaborative that aims to understand and influence how climate science is used in the broader public.
As a member of the Knowledge Transfer team, I supported the creation and exchange of COLDEX scientific and technical knowledge through activities such as:
-
Media analysis, focus group, and surveying research about cross-functional teams and Antarctic climate change
-
In-person and online media and science communication trainings for journalists, scientists, and students
-
Development and implementation of a strategic communications plan intended to engage media, educator, decision-maker, and science and technology audiences
During my tenure, I also contributed leadership as a member of the COLDEX Early Career Researcher and DEI Committees. In 2023, I was the first recipient of COLDEX's Inclusive Leadership Award.
