My research is focused on the intersection between professional and technical writing, digital rhetoric, and the public. I am especially interested networked, organizational rhetoric and how scientists utilize those networks in communicating their work to the public. I have also researched affect theory, environmental rhetoric, ancient technical and medical writing, and the rhetoric of data and data visualizations.
