How do we communicate scientific information related to emotional, contentious, and traumatizing issues such as the climate crisis? Why is it important for science communication practitioners to prioritize their emotional and physical selves? Dr. Faith Kearns, an Academic Coordinator at the California Institute for Water Resources and author of Getting to the Heart of Science Communication, discusses her new book, science writing about water, fire, and climate, and what it means to be a science communication practitioner.
