Science Influencers
The USDA-funded Science Influencers program prepares students to become effective, influential communicators of science in the public domain. The program is a yearlong integrated experience where undergraduate students learn to communicate effectively about science, technology, engineering, and math — a skillset that is critically needed in food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences.
