    February Events

    I have a couple of public(ish) events coming up this month, so I wanted to share the details for anyone interested in joining.

    Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants – Feb 16

    This virtual event is part of a series of talks by myself and other AAAS IF/THEN ambassadors about our STEM careers. It’s geared toward K-12 classrooms, and any teachers who want to bring their class to my session (or another one) can register here. If you’d just like to tune in on your own, you can do that here. My talk takes place starting at 2:00pm Eastern time, and I’ll be discussing what I do as a science communicator, how I got here, and what traits might make you a good science communicator, too.

    Improbable Research Show – Feb 17

    The AAAS conference is in Denver this year, and I’m making a return to the annual Improbable Research show held at the conference. This will be a live event only. It’s free to attend, but I believe registration is required. The show begins at 8:00pm Mountain time, but in years past, showing up early has been required to get a seat. I’ll be talking about past Ig Nobel prize winners that connect to fluid dynamics. Like the Igs themselves, you can expect this show to be a little zany.

    Event: Machine Learning in Mechanics

    This Thursday, August 27th, the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics is holding a special free webinar series on Machine Learning in Mechanics. Details for each talk and a link to register are available here. Note that the event is free but registration is necessary if you want to receive the Zoom link.

    Full disclosure: I am a member-at-large of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
