COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT/OUTREACHInternational Carnivorous Plant Society, virtual webinar series (December 2022).
I gave a virtual talk to the International Carnivorous Plant Society entitled “Evolution of
Nepenthes pitcher diversity and their interactions with symbiotic insects and microbes”. Around20 members attended the live broadcast. The recording is available for viewing for ICPS
members, which largely consists of growers, plant collectors, and other hobbyists.
Southwest Michigan Botanical Club meeting, Kalamazoo, MI (October 2022).
I gave a public talk entitled “Fantastic worlds of/in/on pitchers and leaves” to the roughly dozen
members of the local chapter of the Michigan Botanical Club, which consists of adults withvarying formal biology backgrounds (some with Master’s degrees in life sciences).
Penn State Department of Entomology, The Great Insect Fair, State College, PA (September 2019).
I helped run a booth about evolutionary adaptations of carnivorous plants and beetles,
interacting with members of the general public of all ages and backgrounds. Hundreds of guests
attended.
Harvard Museum of Natural History, I Heart Science Museum Festival, Cambridge, MA (February 2015,2018, 2019).
I helped design and run a booth at the I Heart Science Museum Festival, an annual event. I
helped display live pitcher plants and various other carnivorous plants, explaining aspects of thebiology of carnivorous plants to museum-goers, including the prevalence of convergent
evolution. This is always one of the largest events of the year at the HMNH and I may havetalked to >100 people of all ages and backgrounds in the span of three hours each time.
Harvard Museum of Natural History, Darwin’s Backyard, Cambridge, MA (September 2017).
I designed and ran a demonstration booth for a museum event focused on the experiments
Charles Darwin conducted at his home laboratory. This was in conjunction with a lecture by
James Costa based on his book Darwin’s Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory,
which discusses the various experiments that Darwin conducted at his home. To complement thelecture, graduate students organized booths demonstrating some of Darwin’s experiments on
worms, bees, carnivorous plants, and climbing plants. I designed and ran the booth on
carnivorous plants, demonstrating the difference in digestion between protein-rich and lipid-richfood fed to Venus flytraps, as well as displaying the form and function of sundew tentacles. The
audience for this event was museum-goers of all ages and backgrounds. I ran this booth again thefollowing day at a truncated version of the original event, this time presented specifically to agroup of 30 students from the Amigos School, a local bilingual middle school.
New England Carnivorous Plant Society meeting, Bristol, RI (October 2016).

Gilbert6

I gave a talk to members of the New England Carnivorous Plant Society entitled “Examining theinfluence that pitcher traits have on inquilines and prey capture”. This was a scientificpresentation adapted for a more general audience. The members of this club largely consisted ofhobbyists, growers, collectors, and enthusiasts who did not necessarily have a direct backgroundin science. The ages ranged from college age to senior citizens.
Harvard Museum of Natural History, Biology Teacher Workshop, Cambridge, MA (August 2016).
The Harvard Museum of Natural History hosted a professional development workshop for
Boston-area middle and high school science teachers to be updated on new science teaching
standards, including standards regarding plant biology and “tree thinking” in evolutionary
biology. I volunteered to give a one-hour presentation to a group of teachers (~20). I designed
and gave a talk in which I reviewed how to read phylogenetic trees, explained briefly how they
are built, and demonstrated how phylogenies can be used to explore the concept of convergent
evolution. I went further in-depth in the convergence section using carnivorous plants as an
example, including ancestral state reconstructions I generated from my own research.
Raffles Institution, Café Scientifique, Singapore (February 2016).
I was an invited guest at an event at the Raffles Institution, a private preparatory school in
Singapore. Café Scientifique is a recurring series in which a small group of Raffles students get
the opportunity to chat informally with a scientist about research and their path to becoming ascientist. Though initially intended to be limited to the first 15 students to sign up, due to strong
interest I ended up speaking to a room of >30 middle to high school-aged children. I gave apresentation on my research on Nepenthes gracilis taking place in Singapore and fielded questions
related to applying to and succeeding in college and graduate school.
Harvard Museum of Natural History, Mott Hall Bridges visit, Cambridge, MA (April 2015 & March
2016).
Mott Hall Bridges Academy is a public middle school in a low-income area of Brooklyn, serving a
predominantly black and Hispanic student body. They received viral internet spotlight when one
student was featured on the blog “Humans of New York” recounting why his principal is themost influential person in his life. His principal then started an online fundraising campaign tofund a school visit to Harvard, as a way to inspire her students to strive to be lifelong scholars.
The campaign quickly exceeded its target (it raised $1.4 million in 3 weeks). They arranged a fullday visit for the entire school (~250 students) to Harvard in April 2015 where several
departments and affiliated units worked to create different activities, providing simultaneous
options for groups of students to partake in. I worked with the Harvard Museum of Natural
History to provide one option at the Museum: I gave ~20 students a tour of the entomology
exhibit, gave a talk about plant-insect interactions, and gave advice on applying to college anddeciding on a career path and how to prepare early, as well as relating my experience thatcoming from a low-income background need not preclude anyone from going on to having a
successful academic career in science (or any other field of their choosing) by informing them ofneed-based and merit-based scholarships. The school returned for a second visit the following
year, for which I gave a brief entomology exhibit tour and smaller-scale informal chat.
Cornell University Student Chapter of the Wildlife Society, Ithaca, NY (May 2010 & February 2014).
I presented scientific talks to the Cornell Wildlife Society, one entitled “My Journey to Indonesia”
discussing my REU project on Indonesian crown-of-thorns phylogeography while I was anundergraduate member in 2010, and a second one in 2014 as a Harvard graduate student entitled“The curious case of frog-pitcher plant interactions” detailing some of my preliminary fieldworkin Singapore.
