I was selected by the New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) as one of the participants in a three-day workshop on science communication and public engagement, and performed during the Photoville 2019 in New York City.
- Skills and responsibilities: Science communication, design thinking, performance art/improv
- Partner organizations: New York Academy of Sciences, Guerilla Science, Science Alliance, Pratt Institute
The workshop equipped participants with skills and techniques in effective communication of scientific concepts to a public audience through art and play at the NYAS office in Manhattan (Sept. 6-8, 2019). For the field experience at Photoville NYC in Brooklyn (Sept 19-20, 2019), I performed as an Intergalactic Travel Agent to engage visitors to our booth of the different “travel destinations” in outer space, highlighting the unique geophysical features of planets and moons in the solar system.
