Peer-Reviewed Publications
I organized a symposium on “Science Through Narrative: Engaging Broad Audiences” with contributions from both scientists and artists from different disciplines. The resulting papers are available FOR FREE in a volume of the peer-reviewed journal Integrative and Comparative Biology, and can be accessed at the links below:
