Communicating Science Amidst Controversy
Controversial topics abound in agriculture from
GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) to climate change. Communicating
scientifically-credible information to help farm managers plan for the future
or make short-term decisions can be challenging when intertwined with diverse
perceptions that are part of the decision-making process. This webinar will
present some of the principles of communicating science-based information and
will present case studies and examples of effective (and not effective)
messaging related to controversial agricultural topics.
An
application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors
(CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal
Scientists (ARPAS) has been submitted.
Presenters include:
- Martha Monroe, University of Florida
- Crystal Powers, University of Nebraska - Lincoln
- Paul Vincelli, University of Kentucky
