Below is a flavor of some of these activities: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youth Science Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, Deepti have engaged in tutoring and mentoring activities with high-school students through various programs including &#8211; the college-bound program of the\u00a0<strong>Boys and Girls Girls Club of the Peninsula\u00a0<\/strong>(2010-2015),\u00a0<strong>Stanford Medical Youth Program<\/strong>\u00a0(2011), and the\u00a0<strong>Lamont Secondary School Field Research program\u00a0<\/strong>(2016). Many of the students I interacted with through these programs became first generation college students. I have also been a panelist for Early Career Researcher panel discussions for high-school groups visiting Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.<a href=\"https:\/\/deeptis47.github.io\/#\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy developing hands-on activities get younger students excited about science and engineering. With the\u00a0<strong>Purdue Energy Club<\/strong>, I conducted a number of workshops for students in the Lafayette, Indiana area to educate them about clean energy technologies like solar, wind, and hydro, when I was a graduate student at Purdue (2008-2010). At Stanford, I organized workshops for middle and high-school students during\u00a0<strong>Stanford Splash\u00a0<\/strong>events. With members of the Women in Earth Sciences group at Stanford, I organized a workshop on Climate Change and Clean Energy for the\u00a0<strong>Girls in Science Day\u00a0<\/strong>in 2015 organized by the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula.<a href=\"https:\/\/deeptis47.github.io\/#\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Talks and Panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I gave two talks at the&nbsp;<strong>Stanford Science Circle for High-School Students<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2014 with over 50 participants from schools around the Bay Area:&nbsp;<strong>Generation Anthropocene: the age of human-induced changes in the Earth System<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Indian Summer Monsoon and its Changing Character<\/strong>. With Dr. Diffenbaugh and other graduate students, I was a panelist for the Stanford Continuing Studies Program (2015) widely attended by members of the Bay Area community&nbsp;<strong>Earth Matters: A Matter of Degrees<\/strong>. With Daniel Horton, I organized a breakout session at Stanford Connecting the Dots (2014), a popular event for the Stanford and wider community:&nbsp;<strong>Weather going wild: Will global warming lead to more extremes?&nbsp;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are enthusiastic about educating young and adult members of the community on topics related to the science of climate change, climate impacts, and clean energy opportunities.
