Outreach

My current outreach efforts include giving public talks, presentations about astronomy and light to school children and public audiences. I was honored to give a talk on the South Island of New Zealand, at the Otago Museum in Dunedin in December, 2019 and an invited public lecture at the University of South Carolina in April, 2019. Until August, 2015,  I was a member of the steering committee for the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Development, which was set up in response to the incredible success of the International Year of Astronomy.
