This ecologist is harnessing his lived experience to inform his research, and shares it all on social media. Science communication is so important and contributes to a more science-literate world.

“The water, the soil, the plants and human health — they’re all connected. The dream is to have a river people can cool off in...that provides fish that are safe to eat and to make sure the community has full access to a clean, healthy environment."
