I'M BEN...
I help educators, researchers, instructional designers, and entrepreneurs understand and apply practices for how people learn to their projects.
​
As a consultant, I design learning experiences that teach expert practices in scientific and medical settings. I focus on deep, conceptual learning and complex problem-solving or analysis skills.
HERE'S HOW I CAN HELP
RESEARCH AND DESIGN
How do people learn? And how do we improve how we teach?
There is a large body of research on learning. Sadly, little of it makes its way into practice. Whether you're guiding policy, developing a course, or looking to update training materials, I provide critical insight into research-backed strategies and long-held myths about learning.
FIGHTING PSEUDOSCIENCE
How does a society use science effectively?
Many issues like climate change and vaccinations are fraught with claims that have no basis in scientific fact. I help organizations and policy makers understand how to address misconceptions and misinformation.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
How can we get people excited about science?
​
I'm passionate about helping people understand how science works, particularly through using collaborative forms of research, like citizen science, to engage everyday people in making unprecedented strides in scientific research.
SURVEY DESIGN
How do we get good data?
​
Writing a good survey is trickier than you think. Whether you're looking to understand how someone thinks or the effectiveness of your product, I can help you write the right questions to get reliable, usable data.
