Having earlier trained in geological sciences, I have since developed broad interests with foundations in geochemistry and planetary science. My work involves contributing to, leading on, and diplomatically advocating for a range of impactful interdisciplinary initiatives that address fundamental and applied areas of planetary geological research intersecting with creative outreach, culture, ethics, and policy/law.

Interested students, postdoctoral scholars, and potential collaborators are encouraged to get in touch.

Example International Meeting:

• November 2022, Chair, Forming and Exploring Habitable Worlds.

I am happy to be contacted by the media to comment on important matters relating to planetary science and space exploration, and Earth's evolution and interior composition. As a member of the STEM community - not an expert in social and behavioural studies - I also take an interest in matters of diversity and inclusion in science. 

Examples of accessible contributions to science communication include:

• Exploring the space economy
• Press: Racial minorities 'systematically excluded' from geology and climate change sciences
• Do we need Affirmative Action?
• Contributing Editor: European Association of Geochemistry's blog
• Profile with National Geographic
• Career profile with AAS
• Nature Research Highlight
• ScienceNews - Iron-loving elements tell stories of Earth's history. 
• My recently-founded blog (Contributed to as time allows. Some intended content has been captured by interested parties and published elsewhere.)
• I also have books under development to share scientific characters and their adventures with children and other public audiences.
