Phoenix Fan Fusion
I have previously been involved with Phoenix Fan Fusion (formerly Phoenix Comicon), a pop culture celebration specializing in comics, science fiction, and anime. Phoenix Fan Fusion is one of the biggest comicons in the nation, drawing more than 75,000 attendees every year. From 2013 to 2019, I serve as a panelist on a variety of science panels. Some were pure science, others were a mix of science and popular entertainment or public policy. From 2014 to 2015, I served as the science programming coordinator. I recruited and directed a small team that organized the science programming both years. This programming included 24 hours of panels as well as special exhibits for the exhibitors' space. We pioneered a number of approaches that have helped make the science programming a huge success, including rotating interactive exhibits from a variety of institutions from across the Southwest US region, remixing scientists on panels to create a diversity of fields of expertise and personal experiences, and hosting events where the public can interact with scientists. |
