Infographics »

The infographic program focused on connecting Community Scientists and LCC scientists to develop more approachable and community-centered research material. During small group meetings between the paired Community Scientists and LCC Basic Scientist facilitated by CHET Director, Dr. Melissa Simon, LCC Basic Scientists received valuable insight from Community Scientists regarding (1) the accessibility of the language with which they explain their work and (2) the applicability and significance of their research to the communities that Community Scientists themselves serve. During these meetings, Community  Scientists and LCC Basic Scientists worked together to develop concise, accessible, and relevant descriptions of LCC Scientists’ research that could be incorporated into infographics. Further group meetings focused on revising the bespoke infographics with feedback from both LCC Basic Scientists and Community Scientists. These infographics will be kept in a library and will be used by both Community Scientists and LCC Basic Scientists for outreach and community engagement efforts in the future.
