Partly undone: This request has been partially undone. Awards should be covered in third-party, reliable sources, not the website of the organisation which gives them out. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:40, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

- Hi, I have added this information and references to the article with an adjustment to the section heading ("Media and public engagement). In searching for refs I found a ton of coverage about you and the work you've done. The article can be expanded to more thoroughly reflect your career if you're up for it.
