Sound Science and the ability to communicate effectively can help achieve positive change. For growers this means increasing profitability and sustainability despite changing markets and climate.

TODAY! Delighted to work with @EmSpeaksScience, @DrEleniBickell, and @lexlamm on a multi sectoral / interdisciplinary symposium on empowering women’s voices in climate change. Interesting topic and I look forward to collaborating with these women again soon! @SocRiskAnalysis

Sometimes, process is more important than the outcome. It is through process that the senses are engaged and exploration and discovery are enabled. I encourage you to pay attention to and appreciate the unintended products of process. #process #science #art #discovery

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

If you want to master something, teach it. The more you teach, the better you learn. Teaching is a powerful tool to learning.

[Emily D. @EmSpeaksScience]

@ProfFeynman Agree 100%!

@WomenAgScience Love the new logo!

[Emily D. @EmSpeaksScience]

@CU_Wilkinson @ChapmanU @exploratorium Fantastic! Thanks for sharing :)

[Research Impact Academy @resimpacademy]

Agree with every point, these span more than just conservation research and highlight valuable core principles for achieving #researchimpact

[Emily D. @EmSpeaksScience]

@pellinglab @SciCommCassidy @NSERC_CRSNG @uOttawa Fantastic!

Profound changes need to occur in the agricultural system in order to address on-farm issues like insects, pathogens, weeds, drought, floods, & erosion. Reducing environmental impact through incorporating principles of ecology & biotech will be key to the future. #ClimateCrisis

Information alone does not change perceptions and behaviors, experiences do.

[Emily D. @EmSpeaksScience]

Often, the biggest barrier to understanding scientific concepts is the fear of asking questions. Every day, I diagram things things out and ask A LOT of questions. I don’t always have the answers either but someone else might! #sciencecommunication #learningscience #askquestions

Picture challenge––provide a date for this picture from Library of Congress of a farmer raking soybean hay (Lake Dick Project, Arkansas). #LOC #soybeanfarmer #farming

Success in today’s market relies on more than just a good harvest, it relies on bringing value to farmers and stakeholders across the value chain. Much of this value stems from checkoff funded research. #research #agriculture #innovation

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Just finished listening to @maxboykoff present on creatively communicating to connect people with new ideas and new ways of thinking. So many things resounded with me, but I will leave you with, "Create spaces for people to be a part of change."

[Emily D. @EmSpeaksScience]

In graduate school I read this textbook from cover to cover. It is a gold mine of information, much of which is still relevant today with the exception of climate change––an ever-changing global phenomenon in need of constant documentation.

On Co-dependent Reasoning.
GE crops will be essential to increased on-farm productivity which will be dependent on advances in science & tech. which will be dependent on trust in those advancements which will be dependent on proper science communication... #sciencecommunication
