I am a cross-disciplinary researcher and marine science PhD turned science communicator, with a focus on helping connect people with science that matters to them. I do this in two key ways: 1) I translate technical information for diverse audiences to make it meaningful, relatable, actionable, and useful (e.g., via science writing, keynotes/public speaking, multimedia science storytelling like podcasts, videos, animations, illustrations, and visualizations). 2) I help scientists, engineers, and other STEM professionals communicate more effectively about their work to diverse audiences from the public to funders.• Strategic Communication Advising• Keynote and Talk coaching• Graphics, Data Visualization, and Visual Science Communication Advising and Review• Multimedia and Video Production• Animation, Motion Graphics, and Illustration• Science Writing, Storytelling, and Editing• Science Communication Training and MentorshipLearn more at marleyjarvis.com or reach out here to chat about how we can work together.

The Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences is a large research institute at the University of Washington dedicated to understanding human learning, with a focus on early childhood and brain development. Through trainings, writing, videos, and visual design, I tell stories about science and help build capacity for others to use research in their work, including educators, child care and health care providers, and policymakers.

Portal to the Public is a program designed to assist informal science education (ISE) institutions in bringing scientists and public audiences together in face-to-face interactions that promote public engagement with scientists and engineers. I coordinated all of the public programs for the Portal to the Public department at Pacific Science Center, including our Science Cafe series, Science and a Movie, PubSci and "Meet a Scientist"​ events. For more information on the PoP Network, now hosted by the Institute for Learning Innovation, visit https://popnet.instituteforlearninginnovation.org/• Developed and led professional development workshops in best practices in informal learning for educators and scientists.• Coordinated and moderated public science outreach events and programs, including Science Cafes and "Meet a Scientist" events.• Mentored 50+ scientists in communicating current research for non-scientific audiences, as well as preparing public talks and hands-on activities and museum exhibits based on current research.• Founded new public programs based on community needs assessment that met institutional goal of reaching a missing adult audience of ages 28-40. Developed strategic plan and sustainable funding model for program. Program sold out every event in the first year with the majority of attendees representing target audience.• Managed deliverables and reporting for several federal and private foundation grants.
