Hi, I’m Kaylynne.
Scientist. Educator. Advocate.
I started collecting quotations at nine years old, taping the slips of paper around my bedroom. I’ve spent the fifteen years since figuring out how to get the right words in the right order for whoever’s in front of me — a first-grader learning about the American Revolution, a Senate staffer with five minutes to spare, a graduate student in the middle of a dissertation crisis, a congregation wondering if evolution meant giving something up.
The Throughline
I became a biologist because I wanted to understand something completely enough to explain it honestly. That’s turned out to be the actual job, no matter what the title says: take something too complex, too technical, or too scattered for people to act on, and turn it into something they can.
“Doing what I can,
with what I have,
where I am.”
What You’ll Find Here
Learning & Advocacy Hub
Free Resources, Toolkits & Public Science
Everything I’ve built for people who didn’t have to show up: public science guides, legislative toolkits for first-time advocates, the FAARM project, and tools for the conversations that actually matter.
Research & Dissertation
Academic Inquiry & Behavioral Ecology
Over 1,000 citations and a 45,000-word integrative review later, this is where the science lives — my doctoral research on human evolutionary biology and reproductive behavior, published papers, and the theoretical frameworks behind them.
Portfolio
Learning Design & Content Strategy in Action
Real case studies, not hypotheticals: how I’ve built curricula for students with nothing in common, translated federal policy for people who’d never set foot on the Hill, and turned cognitive dissonance into a seminar that changed minds.
