Geoff Spencer
"My typical workday is never really typical, which is great. ...One minute you may be trying to set up an interview for a reporter from the New York Times who is on a tight deadline, while simultaneously having to manage logistics for an exhibit at a scientific meeting, or setting up a major press conference downtown."
Activities
