As part of the leadership for the national communicating science workshop series, ComSciCon, Erica chaired the organizing team for multiple workshops focused on empowering graduate students to effectively communicate science to a diverse range of audiences. She has also launched a spinoff of ComSciCon, BiteScis, focused on developing lesson plans through partnerships between graduate students and K-12 educators.
