Are Your Readers Getting Your Message?

When it comes to explaining science, it's not enough to give readers a textbook definition. You have to overcome their misconceptions using analogies and examples. Capture their attention by telling them a story. And show them relevance by relating familiar concepts.

I specialize in earth and space sciences and have written about climate change, geology, natural hazards, oceanography, remote sensing, space missions, and water resources.
