Director, Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning, Oregon State University I consider myself now a bridge person between informal science education and science communication, research and practice, science and society. I run a research center at Oregon State University where we study lifelong STEM learning. I am also a Co-PI for a resource center that supports the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program at the US National Science Foundation. We are focused on the intersection of SciComm and informal STEM learning, and research and practice. I look forward to spirited discussions around these topics.
