Our Science Communication Approach
The Smith Lab is dedicated to communicating our research to a broad audience in order to improve the application of science to policy and public debate. We engage the public through community and school presentations, news and radio, citizen science, and social media. We continue to branch out into novel mediums, including mobile museums and scientific illustration. We welcome the opportunity to develop new collaborations with writers, artists, and educators to continue to share our work.
