Perrin Ireland has been a doodler her entire life, a learner who visualizes concepts in order to understand them. She is senior science communications specialist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, where she helps tell the story of how science plays a part in NRDC’s work. She also produces biweekly visual explications of the latest research news for Discover Magazine Blogs Visual Science. Perrin advocates for the importance of visual thinking in advancing science communication, leading workshops on visual notetaking for scientists and journalists, and participating in conferences and events by providing graphic capture to improve accessibility of science for general audiences.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
