Science is not meant to be restricted to experts and veiled behind jargon. Furthermore, in the current era where science funding is facing threats, it is important for the voting public to see the importance of funding science. I love giving public science talks and always accept invitations to give them. For example, see a recording of my recent public talk at Columbia University here! I also enjoy written science communication. Between 2020 and 2023, I was a full author at Astrobites. Astrobites is a graduate student-run website that posts bite-sized summaries of new astronomy research. I enjoy making high-level science accessible for those outside/newer to the field.
