The decision has immediate implications for everyone and …

Community Science as a Method of #SciComm and #SciPol
Are you interested in breaking down jargon in your scientific field to be more inclusive of others? I found a community-oriented science project did just that. After receiving messages and questions about the state of water systems in Oklahoma during late spring/early summer of 2020, I knew there was an interest within my community to understand water quality.

#AntarcticLog: Science & Action
If ever there was a shaky time, this is one. I can say that from the perspective of my years. But for kids, it’s the only time they know.
