Beyond the Lab: The Quest to Make Science Accessible to the Public and Pass it on to the Next Generation
Our shared global challenges...
Good news: Science generates many of the solutions to help solve these challenges..
Science generates solutions..
Tritrophic model system
Methods
PGPR promotes root growth
PGPR affects insect development and perfomance
PGPR helps plants tolerate drought stress
Did You Know?
Why novel findings stay locked in journals, conferences, and within university and scientific communities? • University and academic evaluation and promotion system
But challenges we face are dire- especially in developing countries
Opinion pieces (OpEds)
Benefits of communicating science
Growing up in Kenya.... with no role models and mentors.... and experiencing challenges everyday
Serve as a mentor to many students
