Over the past 10+ years, I have been active in outreach, to both educate the public about my research and to foster curiosity and engagement in a broad audience, especially children. I have participated in numerous outreach events (e.g., university open days; guest lectures at high schools, museums and greenhouses) with my research animals for interactive education.
