Genetic Engineering, Extension and Communication

Those of you that follow social media know Dr. Paul Vincelli.  He’s a visible contributor to the discussion on genetic engineering, but also ventures into discussion of climate change.  So how do scientists learn to rethink their approach to public hot-button topics to be effective?

This has been a question for scientists for a long time, as we perennially fail to connect well with the public.
