Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History

Throughout my time in graduate school, I volunteered at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History with my colleagues Graham Edwards and Jessica Gagliardi. In this role, we hosted monthly video streams, a recurring blog, and various pop-up museum exhibits. Our goals as museum volunteers were to promote Earth science literacy in the community, and to facilitate a long term partnership between the museum and the Earth and Planetary science department at UC Santa Cruz.
