Communicator
I started my YouTube channel, YouTooBio, to make the videos I wanted to use in my classes, but which didn’t already exist.
I wanted videos that: include real data from fascinating research studies; are short, funny, and to the point; show live footage of techniques without getting bogged down in the details; and showcase diverse scientists
In 2015 I won the iBiology Young Scientist Series competition and received science communication training from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science.
I am a self-taught video producer.
Now I teach students how to make science videos, too.
In 2021, I received a Mini-Grant from the Durham Tech Foundation to train 5 community college students to produce high-quality science videos that meet the classroom needs of Science Instructors at Durham Tech.
