I’m presenting highlights from the Sailing Scientists project at #SETACPortland! I’m at poster 116 today and looking forwards to chatting about #waterquality and #scicomm!

It’s a good reminder that I forgot to share the most recent paper from this project- kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.... 🎉

Fantastic plenary this morning! Some great messages, and (unsurprisingly from someone talking about comms) presented in such an entertaining and engaging way 🎉
Was great to come away with a comms checklist too- thank you! 👏
🌱 Join us at 8:30 PST for today’s plenary with Kaci Buhl of Oregon State University, who will dive into the fundamentals of risk communication. Kaci leads pesticide safety education efforts in Oregon and nationwide. 👉 setac.confex.com/setac/sna202... #SETACPortland
