Background
I am a Professor of Life Sciences Communication and Wisconsin PI of the NSF-funded Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU). I also have affiliate appointments with UW’s Center for European Studies, the Communication Technologies Research Cluster, the Robert F. and Jean E. Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies, and the School of Journalism & Mass Communication.
Prior to joining UW, I was a tenured faculty member at Cornell University. I have served as Director of Graduate Studies at both Cornell and Wisconsin, and teach courses in Data Analysis and Research Methods, Research and Strategy, Public Opinion and the Life Sciences, Media and Politics, and Digital Democracy.
My professional experience includes consulting work for firms, such as Fallon Worldwide and BD Biosciences, as well as numerous public-sector clients, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, the Emirates Center for Strategic Study and Research (United Arab Emirates), the National Center for Science Education and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
