The Science Communication Project @ISU was founded in 2010 with the goal of enhancing collaborative research on, education for, and the practice of public science communication, broadly conceived. Our biennial symposia- which include public presentations of multidisciplinary research and interactive workshops- bring together a network of scholars who share interests in public engagement of science, environmental communication, natural resource management, and agriscience. Conference proceedings showcase research, evaluations, and critiques of science communication-related practices and phenomena.

Abstract
While there has been much research on informed consent generally, little has been done to explore the process with non-English-speaking immigrants. This project explores the informed consent conference for non-English-speaking Latinos. Rhetoric and scientific and technical communication will ground the analysis of the results.
