Through my courses I teach students the science behind environmental problems and the efforts conducted to minimize human impacts and promote sustainability. I also train students on how to use their science to make an impact on society.

"Pretty much every topic in the class gave me useful insight into how to best develop a science communication project. I especially learned a lot about evaluating success and which modes of outreach are the most effective."
