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.
