What if instead of a single snapshot at your annual physical, you could livestream what's happening inside your body? I interviewed researcher Jane Donnelly for Science Podcast about the future of continuous protein monitoring and learned something about my own craft along the way.

This research reframes how we talk about aging and body composition. Instead of blaming metabolism or lifestyle alone, it suggests our tissues are undergoing their own programmed shifts. It also opens up questions about whether this fat gain is purely harmful or whether it might serve a protective or adaptive function in some cases.

What does it mean to care for the outdoors and pass traditions to the next generation? This short film explores the beauty of intergenerational stewardship, capturing a family’s timeless rituals of connection and care.

In a hands-on workshop at Duke University, graduate students learned how to craft engaging audio and video content. By the end of the session, participants left with media outputs, ready to connect their research with new audiences. Learn how these workshops are empowering the next generation of scientists to share their stories confidently and effectively.

At SciWri24, I joined forces with communicators from NASA and Gastropod to lead a dynamic workshop on podcasting and storytelling for scientists. From hands-on audio tips to engaging discussions on science communication, this experience reinforced how storytelling bridges the gap between research and audiences.
