Students often talk with friends & fam about climate, @lizbarnes.bsky.social + colleagues find. But they tend to go heavy on the stats & facts, and don't know how to bring up solutions. They rarely learn how to have effective conversations, and would love training & practice.
Well, guess what! 🧵

Our new research shows that college students talk about climate change often but rely too much on statistics and facts without building trust first. They also really want to learn more about how to communicate effectively as part of their science education. www.lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/...
