COMPASS Team and Board

We are passionate about science and scientists. Building on formal training in ecology, physical oceanography, biomechanics, and environmental science, we blend our real-world professional experience from federal and regional policymaking, journalism, writing, teaching, conservation, and consulting worlds. Our experience and networks poise us to support and connect science and scientists.

For a decade, we have been active practitioners in science communications- supporting and coaching scientists while also observing many of the conditions that can nurture, or hinder, effective science communications. We blog about our experiences and observations.
