How science becomes meaning.
My research bridges science communication and visual communication to explore how science takes meaning across media, policy, and community settings. I study how public opinion, expert judgment, media coverage, and visual practices shape trust, debate, and decision-making around complex and contested science issues, with a focus on environmental and emerging technologies.
Science Communication
Public opinion and risk perception around emerging science
Science communication in policy and governance
Media framing of environmental and technological change
Strategic and ethical communication of science in high-stakes contexts
Visual Communication
How data visualization shapes interpretation, trust, and decision
Visual narratives, emotion, and credibility in science communication
Art-based and community-driven approaches to environmental engagement
Public responses to AI-generated and synthetic scientific imagery
