About Me...

 

There are too many interesting and important things in the world not being talked about, especially by young people. I’m out to show the Indiana Jones in every scientist and to bring issues of education, conservation, and research to people’s eyes, ears, and hearts.


I’m based in Los Angeles but currently working on conservation and environmental education projects in Ecuador.
Follow me on my adventures on twitter.
