Workshops

I enjoy teaching practical, hands-on skills that help researchers become more effective, independent, and confident in their work. I have developed and co-taught workshops spanning museum techniques, macroevolutionary analyses, and science communication.

Improving scientific graphics in Illustrator

I have organized and led several workshops aimed at helping scientists communicate their research through effective data visualization and figure design. Click here for resources for the 2026 AOS conference workshop, 'Data to Design: Scientific graphics in R and Adobe Illustrator/Graphite'

Avian specimen preparation

I mentor students and lead specimen preparation skills workshops, such as this five day long specimen prep workshop at the Cincinnati Natural History Museum in July 2025.

Developed with Rosana Zenil-Ferguson and Santiago Ramirez-Barahona, this Spanish-language workshop introduced Bayesian phylogenetics using RevBayes and was held January 2025 at the Instituto de Biologia, UNAM. Click here for examples, exercises, and teaching resources.
