Beyond the Ivory Tower
John Templeton Foundation, 2018–present
A collaboration with James Ryerson (NYT senior editor) and scientists David DeSteno and Lisa Feldman Barrett to help academics write for public audiences. Funded through 2031 by the John Templeton Foundation.
I've supported dozens of workshops, run the alumni community, and recorded, produced, and edited the video series and podcast. 200+ alumni have written and recorded over 1,000 pieces of content, with hundreds of pieces placed in outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, Scientific American, The Atlantic, and NPR.
