SHARING THE power of curiosity

Emily has given hundreds of presentations at venues big and small, from classrooms to conference keynotes — and ranging from intimate settings to addressing the tens of thousands of attendees at Chicago’s March for Science in 2017.

As the COVID-19 pandemic pushed many programs online, Emily’s familiarity with developing engaging virtual content has allowed her to easily adapt her presentations to this new environment.

Contact us to enquire about availability for in-person and virtual presentations for 2024 -2025.

Popular topics include:

  • How her background as a studio artist paved the way for her career in science communication;

  • The making of projects like Prehistoric Road Trip and The Brain Scoop;

  • The importance of diverse representation in science media and STEM fields.
