Smithsonian Summer Showdown
North American Orchid Conservation Center - 2015
These graphics and memes were created for the Smithsonian Summer Showdown in August 2015. We entered SERC's North American Orchid Conservation Center in the Showdown and were pitted against top Smithsonian museums and units like the National Zoo, National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) and the Smithsonian-Harvard Astrological Observatory. There were seven Smithsonian units in the science category and we ranked 7th out of 7 in social media following, and in a competition that is based on social media and votes, it was a true David and Goliath endeavor. In the end, we placed 3rd out of 7 and earned serious street cred during the Twitter battles with the Zoo and NMNH!
SERC's Annual Open House Exhibit Posters - 2014
This infographic was produced for the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's (SERC) annual Open House in 2014. While the beach, native marsh, bulkhead and riprap visualizations are based on data (species type, wave energy), the living shoreline concept is purely theoretical but based on what scientists would expect to occur in that environment. This poster was meant to inform the general public about how shoreline type affects species type, relative species presence, type of fish and macroinvertebrate (e.g. blue crab, grass shrimp) predators and prey, vegetation presence and relative water depth in each environment in the Chesapeake Bay. Data from five institutions (SERC, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Maryland DNR, UMCES, USGS) awarded a NOAA grant addressing multiple stressors in the Chesapeake Bay was used to create this poster.
This infographic was produced for the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's (SERC) annual Open House in 2014. Data from my 2012 jellyfish, or Sea Nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha), experiment was used to generate this poster and was meant to inform the general public about how shoreline type affects jellyfish polyp settlement and overwinter survival relative to its historically preferred hard substrate habitat, oyster shell. My study was funded by a NOAA grant addressing the affects of multiple stressors on the Chesapeake Bay.
