As science communications scholars, we are passionate about communicating science in a way that changes behavior and establishes trust and credibility. Our ongoing work in science communication has positioned us as leaders in developing and delivering communications training for agricultural scientists, investigating the communication and information needs of agricultural stakeholder groups, studying trust and credibility across a variety of stakeholder groups, and engaging producers in evidence-based practices that protect agricultural and natural resources.
