Sharing Scholarly Research with a Broader Audience

Rare Books Exhibit: Making Books Count (2024)

Astronomical Exhibit: Eclipse IU (2024)

I was active in the organizing committee at the Eclipse Project at Indiana University. I also contributed to the Science Fest and the History Slam with my colleagues, Dr. Kalani Craig and Dr. Liz Hebbard. I proposed and co-designed models for astrolabes and educational resources addressing students, faculty, and the broader community visiting Bloomington, IN. On the day of the eclipse, April 8, I was excited to lead the solar eclipse observation in the IU Arboretum station.
