Outreach
SAIL Physics Day Camp
Part of the umbrella
of SAIL programs in Economics, Psychology, and Physics, the SAIL
Physics camp is a week-long set of talks, lab tours, and hands-on
activities for middle- and high-school students focused on learning
both about Physics and about college in general . The program is
free and especially targets students without a family history of
higher education, conveying the appeal and accessibility of college
both indirectly through its activities and directly through presentations
from admissions and financial aid officers. (Continued...)

Teaching
Science Literacy Program
I'm heavily involved in UO's
Science Literacy Program, whose goal is to
improve science education for non-science-major undergraduates. See also
this link for a blurb. Several of my courses were taught or developed under the auspices of the SLP.
