This is why I booked window seats on my flight to Fall Meeting:

Video: Approach into FLL (Timelapse)

Now that we can leave our phones on during take off and landing, there is much fun to be had! For example, this timelapse video I took during a recent approach into the Fort Lauderdale (FLL) airport

Dupont Circle Photo Walk (AGU Art Council)

Here are two photos I took during a staff culture event, the 2015 Photo Walk, hosted this spring by the AGU Art Council.

The first is a portrait I took of one of our interns. Doesn't she have the best smile!?

The second is a photo of some buildings in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of D.C. These colors caught my eye -- beautiful shades of cream and purple. 

I feel like there is more I could do with both photos if I had a better command of Photoshop. One of these days...

ArtJamz 2015 (AGU Art Council)

As part of AGU's Art Council, a committee tasked with improving staff culture through appreciation of and interaction with art, I helped organize an ArtJamz painting event for the staff this spring. It was one of our best-attended events, and why wouldn't it be? Two hours to paint, sip on beer and wine, enjoy some snacks, and forget about the pile of things waiting for you on your desk!

AGU Fall Meeting Press Conference

I'll be leaving my work home at AGU soon. Over the past four years, I've been collecting photos of journalists and scientists interacting to use with our Sharing Science materials. My goal has been to show action and for each photo to tell a (short) story. Here are some photos I took at the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting during one of our largest ever press conferences. In these photos, scientists present early results from NASA's Curiosity rover and TV, radio and print journalists interview some of the scientists immediately after the press conference.

AGU Fall Meeting: Scientists interacting with journalists

I'll be leaving my work home at AGU soon. Over the past four years, I've been collecting photos of journalists and scientists interacting to use with our Sharing Science materials. My goal has been to show action and for each photo to tell a (short) story. Here are some photos I took at the 2013 and 2014 AGU Fall Meetings:

 The BBC's Rebecca Morelle interviews a scientist after a 2014 Fall Meeting press conference.

A TV crew interviews (left to right) Rolf Hut, Fedor Baart and Olivier Hoes at the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting about their recent findings on whether the Alcatraz escapees could have survived.

Jim Green, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, gives a TV interview after a 2014 Fall Meeting press conference.

U.S. Rosetta Project Scientist Claudia Alexander of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, gives a live radio interview following a press conference about results from the Rosetta mission at the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting. I was very sad to learn that six months after I took this photograph, Alexander died of breast cancer.
