A Hermione, I’m a bookworm, writer, and academic graduating with a PhD from Rice University’s Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences department, but with a love for volcanoes–a VolcaNerd! I’ve studied the hazards of volcanoes in Guatemala, visited Mt St Helens, and my recent research as an experimental petrologist investigated volcanic carbon dioxide emissions. You can also often find me erupting Diet Coke with Mentos, as I’m passionate about outreach and science communication.
