by Helen Neville Frequently pegged as geeky, and not always the most graceful communicators, we scientists struggle with how to translate our often wonky results to the public in ways that actually mean something to them. Climate scientists perhaps face particular difficulty finding ways to help people grasp the nature of climate change and understand
Take Action STAND UP FOR THE SNAKE The Snake River Basin provides more than 50 percent of salmon and steelhead habitat in the lower 48.

Indigenous people and salmon have been intertwined for thousands of years in Bristol Bay, Alaska. The knowledge of harvesting, preserving and sharing fish is as important here as any lesson in a book.
