Lisa Dilling, Director of Western Water Assessment, gave a public talk on usable science, followed by a panel discussion featuring CU Boulder researchers Jeff Deems, Arnaud Chulliat, and Lise St. Denis, whose science has been used beyond the university. The talk and panel discussion explored different pathways to usable science, looked at practical considerations and pitfalls, and learned from some of the researchers who have made usable science a major part of their careers.
The Engaged Scientist series was coordinated by CU's new Albert A. Bartlett Center for Science Communication, CIRES Education and Outreach, INSTAAR, and Learn More About Climate at the Office for Outreach and Engagement.
