Community Outreach

Our Community Outreach work in 2017 was focused on ways we as a team can open up a dialogue between members of the public and the scientific community. Within our own sphere of influence, we have seen a great need for improved and ongoing communication between community members, industry leaders, politicians, and researchers, especially on controversial topics such as genetically modified organisms and water quality in urban areas.

As a result, we’ve taken a multifaceted approach to involvement, understanding, and education in our local and not-so local community. One of the major ways we sought to achieve our goals was by holding events and programs that connected people with real world, tangible applications of genetic modification that affect them on a daily basis, or provide insight into the processes used in genetic modification to reduce misinformation and stigma.
