The completion of the second year of the Rooted in Science course was celebrated July 26th with an ice cream social and a viewing of students’ videos featuring their research projects. This second year of Rooted in Science is the outreach component of an integrated project funded by USDA and led by Professor Niki Labbé. The course, taught by Professor Emerita Carole Myers (College of Nursing) and Chancellor Professor Mark Littmann (School of Journalism & Media), is designed to train graduate students in science communication skills in order to convey the story of their research effectively to the general public.
