    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.

  • APS DFD 2017

    APS DFD 2017

    This year’s American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting starts this Sunday. I have a couple events scheduled:

    – Student Lunch, Monday, November 20, 12:55-13:45 (sold out)

    – FYFD: Getting started in science communication, Monday, November 20, 16:44-16:57, Four Seasons Ballroom

    Yes, the ballroom! If you’ve ever struggled to get into an FYFD talk, you shouldn’t have to this year! Also, dear DFD attendees, if you guys manage to pack the ballroom, I will love you forever.

    You’ll also see me out and about at the conference, sporting fresh new FYFD t-shirts. I’ll have selected sticker designs for sale in person, too – $3 each, buy 4 and get the 5th free.

    The best way to keep up with me during the conference is through Twitter, and if you need to contact me, you can get to me there or via email at fyfluids[at]gmail.com.

    Hope to see you at APS DFD!

  • Science Hackathon

    Science Hackathon

    Just a heads-up that I’ll be at Brown University tomorrow giving a talk and then helping out with a science visualization hackathon. I’m super excited for the opportunity to have some hands-on flow visualization fun with folks!

    The lecture is public, but I think only Brown students can register for the workshop.
