Welcome to the Lamm Science Communication Lab

The Lamm Science Communication Lab specializes in conducting research and teaching about how educational initiatives and targeted science communication techniques can impact how people make decisions about agricultural and environmental science. The team examines how individuals, groups and communities think about critical global issues such as water quality and quantity, plastic use, pest management, climate change, food security, food safety and more. They also study and teach about how we, as a global society, build consensus to inform policy that addresses these issues, how culture and identity influence this process, and how targeted science communication efforts can assist in the creation of solutions to the world’s greatest problems.
