As a docent at a science museum, I used to explain natural phenomena to guests in a rainforest exhibit. By luck one day, a blue morpho butterfly landed on my arm, and the museum-goers watched it shift from electric blue to dead-leaf brown, then back again. As I explained the magic of structural color, the excitement in my audience's eyes was as striking as the butterfly that took to the sky.I adore science; I chased it through lectures and library programs, molecular laboratories and museums. But not everyone knows how to take the first step to understanding it. And I realized my passion for storytelling could help bridge that gap.As a science communicator, I want to make the path to understanding accessible for the diverse, curious minds in the world. Enthusiasm for science empowers everyone, especially marginalized communities, to find solutions to the crises facing us today.
